Bound to Get Down

Well, I was born in trouble
Hey, but that’s just me
If you ain’t in trouble, friend
You’re about to be
It’s a force of nature
Ain’t something you get to choose
Cause in the course of living you are bound to get down to the blues
Some people run hog wild
Some people walk the line
Some never do nothing
Hey, it takes all kinds
And it don’t matter
Here’s some late breaking news
In the course of living you are bound to get down to the blues
Bound to get down
You’re bound to get down
Sooner or later, no way around
Everybody gets down to the blues
You might seem so happy, not at all depressed
And be a pharmacological guinea pig mess
Who don’t remember how you came upon that ruse
But in the course of living you are bound to get down to the blues
Well, a sick man’s smiling, healthy man cries
Cold man borrows and a wealthy man buys
And the more you’re winning the more you have to lose
Cause in the course of living you are bound to get down to the blues
You’re bound to get down
Bound to get down
Sooner or later, no way around
Everybody gets down to the blues
Well, I was born in trouble
Hey, but that’s just me
And if you ain’t in trouble, friend
Get prepared to be
Bound to get down
You’re bound to get down
Bound to get down
Sooner or later, no way around
Everybody gets down to the blues
To the blues
