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
