Keep the Blues Away

I got lost down in Rio

I  was running from the FBI

Yeah,  they had me on some charges back in San Anton'

You know I never got the reason why

I turned up in a casino

My  hands up and ready to fight

The  whole damn mariachi band

For playing the same tune twice

I  get high 'cause I want to

I get low everyday

I get high 'cause I want to

Gotta do something

To  keep the blues away

You know last time that I seen her

My girl was lookin' mighty fine

Starin' through the glass at a police station

Just tryin' hear the end of the line

I know I said it and I mean it

I am tryin' to change my life

But when times get tough

Yeah, the tough get hard

You can cut me with a butter knife

I get high 'cause I want to

I get low everyday

I get high 'cause I want to

Gotta do something

To keep the blues away

I get high 'cause I want to

I get low everyday

I get high 'cause I want to

Gotta do something

High 'cause I want to

Low everyday

High 'cause I want to

Gotta do something

To keep the blues away
