I got lost down in Rio
I was running from the FBI
Yeah they had me on some charges back in San Antone
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
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
