I Got the Ain’t Got the Lowdown Blues … Blues © J Bickerstaff 2024
V1
Woke up this morning, I was feeling pretty good
All my body parts seem to be working, guess I better knock on wood
I checked my mailbox yesterday, and I don’t owe no dues
I got the ain’t got the lowdown blues … blues
V2
I really can’t remember the last time I shed a tear
My girl she really loves me, we ain’t spoke a harsh word in years
My pickup truck runs like a dream every time I go for a cruise
I got the ain’t got the lowdown blues … blues
Bridge
Well, my dog is sitting here in my lap, and she follows me wherever I go
She’ll bring me a beer and sits right here, and loves all my favorite TV shows
Yeah, my kids are well adjusted and living the life they choose
I got the ain’t got the lowdown blues … blues
Solo
V3
My neighbors always say hello, and they all know my name
They invite me to all their parties and seem to be glad I came
I guess life could be better, but that depends on point of view
I got the ain’t got the lowdown blues … blues
CH
Well, my boss is one of the finest folks that ever walked this earth
And I just got a pretty good raise, far more than I’m worth
If life got any better for me, I’d have to be Howard Hughes
I got the ain’t got the lowdown blues … blues
No I ain’t crying … No I ain’t suffering
I got the ain’t got the lowdown blues … blues
