B.B. King — The Lowdown lyrics

Lyrics

I keep laughing
Through the tears I cry
No way life is getting to me We’re all out there
Gotta live and die
No one’s above it May as well love it Face the music
This is your time to dance
Let your life roll on When they hit you
Just get up And go another round
Oh baby, don’t you know
I know the lowdown
Everything that’s going up Must go down
Speed it up or slow down
Life’s a merry-go-round
Ride it high
'Cause we all hit the ground
I had money
And it all slipped away
Guess I didn’t really, really need it I can make it Living day to day
Don’t look for answers
Follow the dancers
Face the music
'Cause they’re playing your tune
Let the night roll on Take it from me
'Cause I’ve been the long
Long way around
Oh baby, don’t you know
I know the lowdown
Everything that’s going up Must go down
Speed it up or slow down
Life’s a merry-go-round
Ride it high
'Cause we all hit the ground
