Buddy Guy

Sitting there yakkin' right in my face
Coming on like you own the place
If silence was golden
You couldn't raise a dime
Cause your mind is on vacation and your mouth is working overtime

You're quoting figures, you're dropping names
You're telling stories, you're playing games
You always laugh when things ain't funny
You try to sound like you don't need money
If talk was criminal, you'd lead a life of crime
Cause your mind is on vacation and your mouth is working overtime

You know that life is short and talk is cheap
Don't make promises that you can't keep
If you don't like the song I'm singing, just grin and bear it
All I can say is if the shoe fits wear it
If you must keep talking please can you make it rhyme
Cause your mind is on vacation and your mouth is working overtime
Cause your mind is on vacation and your mouth is working overtime

You can make it if you try
You can make it if you just try
'Cause you're going to live on until you die
Wow, oh, you can make it if you try

Sometimes you'll have to lie
Sometime, sometime you may have to cry
But oh, you can make it if you try, ohohoh
You can make it if you try
Oh yes you can

Now if your old baby
Treat you wrong, listen
Don't run around
And just sing the blues
But oh you can never my friend, listen
Everybody can't win, listen
Don't you know somebody
Somebody got to loose

You can make it if you try
You can make it if you just try
Listen
You can make it if, if you try, ohhh
You can make it if you try
Oh yes you can, haha
Yeah
Hahahaha
Haha huh huh

You take a man and a woman
That just can't get along,
Sick and tired of doing each other wrong.
Painful words are spoken,
Pressures (??)
That they don't belong in here.
Oh, oh, this is where the blues begins

A young man on the street,
Trying hard to make his way,
Out there in this mean world it gets harder every day.
He tried to find a good fight,
He was starting a new life,
But the (??) saw him closing in.
Oh, oh, this is where the blues begins

Where the blues begins
Way down on the bottom,
You got the struggle to survive,
Where the blues begins,
Hard luck and trouble,
Takes us totally on the line

It's the same old fight,
You know you just can't win,
Oh, oh, this is where the blues begins

Where the blues begins
Way down on the bottom,
You got the struggle to survive,
Where the blues begins,
Hard luck and trouble,
Takes us totally on the line

It's the same old fight,
You know you just can't win
Oh, oh, this is where the blues begins.
It's the same old fight,
You know you just can't win

Well I had a job, but I got laid off
I had a heart but it got too soft
I had a girlfriend and she lied
I had a wife but my wife she died

It's a natural thing for an animal(where is the next one comin' from)
Well I'm tired all of that give and take (where is the next one comin' from)

About all I got was a bellyache
And once a kid has come to town
He talked like a fool and he dressed like a clown.
Only love could have put him down

If I never see you again, baby, that's much too soon

If you're the last woman on this earth
And I can have all the honey up under your skirt

You should have been there for me baby
standing right by my side
now things have changed and I've got to go
to many tears have been cried

to many tears, to many tears oh I've cried in vain, I've cried in vain
ooh to many tears, to many tears oh they drown just like rain oh to many tears

I've tried to be strong
I've tried to do you right
but you left me all alone
one to many nights

chorus

when I needed you the most
emptiness was all I got
I'm not gonna cry no more
I've shed my last teardrop

Lead

Everything is gonna be ok baby
both of us will survive
lets be thankful for the love we shared
and not for those tears that we cried

Chorus x2

lead and out

I'm catching hell out here
People and you know, I know it ain't right
I say, I'm catching hell out here
And people you know, I know it ain't right|
Cause I'm so broke, I'm so broke right now, that I can't even spend the night

My only son
I don't think he really know who I am
I said, my only son|
I don't think, I don't think he really know who I am
Frankly speaking people, I don't think, I don't think he really gives a damn

Look at here

I pawned my watch, and you know I pawned my dog-gone ring
I said, yes, I pawned my watch
Baby you know I pawned, I pawned my dog-gone ring
You know I'm trying to ride this old rack-e-ty bike
And I don't even have a dog-gone chain

Look at here

I'm catching hell, I'm catching hell, yeah
And people and you know that ain't right
I say, I'm catching hell, yeah
And people you know, you know, that ain't right
I'm so broke right now, that I can't even spend the night.

Look at here

Oh that's what I'm hearin', darlin'
I got a feelin' that it won't be long
Oh yes this is it, baby

We used to live together as one, babe
Until you started runnin' 'round
Oh, we used to live together as one, darlin'
Until you started runnin' 'round

Down in Louisiana
On a cotton plantation
Little tent room shack
And a third grade education

Two stringed wood guitar
I taught myself how to play, yes, I did
Kept the whole family up all night
And I told them that you'll all thank me one day
Yes, I did

My sister would scream
"Boy, you just got to stop
You're waking up the whole family
Everybody is going to be hot"

Two stringed wood guitar
And I sure enough taught myself how to play
She said, "Turn it down, Buddy"
I said, "Shut up, you're gonna thank me someday"
You're gonna thank me one day
Did you hear what I said?

That was sixty years ago
Now my mom and dad is gone
I go see my sisters and brothers
And the grand-kids come along

I give the little ones my guitar
I tell 'em, "Close your eyes and play
Don't even worry about the neighbors
Y'all gonna thank me someday"

Down in Louisiana
On a cotton plantation
A little tent room shack
And I only got a third grade education

That's why I taught myself
I'm telling you that's why I taught myself
How to play, yes, I did
I kept my family up all night
And now they're thanking me everyday
Oh yeah, they're thanking me everyday

Yeah, I don't know why I got those type of blues tonight, but uh
Something, it's alright, something told me tonight to uh
Get it like I was gettin' it when I first started
And it's such a great pleasure to be on this show tonight Ladies and Gentleman
Tell uh, it's given me a thrill inside, you know, and I wish that
You may think I'm puttin' you on, but uh please believe me
For somehow or another,I hate to say this, but uh,
We get a better thrill out of playing over here then we do at home
So uh, haha, but uh, I must, thank you, I must say this that uh
Regardless to how an entertainer feel it are always the people that makes him feel okay
So that's why we always get the question asked us, during the course of a tour
Do you ever get lonesome by it for not beeing at home, you know
People can make you feel at home
And when I, thank you very much
And when I get that feeling like that I go be that and
Play a tune that goes something like this

Just ten years ago
People what I would do
No one would ever know
Just ten years ago
People how I would live my life
No one would ever know
The things that I think I would do
Ooo, no one will never know

I sit down in my dark room sometime
Tears rollin' down from my eyes
I sit down in my dark room
Tears rollin' down from my eyes
Yeah, play the blues
You know, I began to wonder
Oh, what makes a man like poor me cry

Well I might as well forget all about it
Lord and try to live my live just like it is
Lord I might as well forget all about it
And try to live my live just like it is
And you know I want to tell you people
Oh I would like to go back ten years

Play it on down for me now!

Hurt me so bad, to be losing the one I love

But where can I find, someone that could ease Lord, my sufferin' mind

So if I have any witness, I know that you will find
That life means nothing to you baby, Lord when you have a worried mind
So forgive me for what I do, 'Cause I guess I just have to live on
With a sufferin' mind
Oh, yeah

Shes a witch of trouble in electric blue,
In her own mad mind shes in love with you.
With you.

Strange brew -- kill whats inside of you.

Shes some kind of demon messing in the glue.
If you dont watch out itll stick to you.
To you.
What kind of fool are you?

On a boat in the middle of a raging sea,
She would make a scene for it all to be ignored.

Strange brew, strange brew, strange brew, strange brew.
Strange brew -- kill whats inside of you.

I thank the Lord for letting me stay around a little longer
Till I got, got a lot more to give
I thank the Lord for letting me stay around a little longer
Lord knows I love the life I live

This old road's been so good to me
I've been given much more than I ever dreamed
I won't ever stop playing these blues
That's what I think He put me here to do

I thank the Lord for letting me stay around a little longer
Feel like I've got a lot more to give
I thank the Lord for letting me stay around a little longer
Lord knows I love the life I live

So many good friends I've lost along the way
I know I'll meet 'em again on some uncloudy day
Until then there's more songs to be sung
We've come a long way but we're a long way from being done

I thank the Lord
I thank the Lord for letting me stay around a little longer
But I feel like I got a lot more to give
I thank the Lord for letting me stay around a little longer
Lord knows I love the life I live
Thank You, Lord, I love the life I live

You got that right, B, I love the life we live, Buddy
I spend a many nights listening to you play
You still sound good, oh, you too sound good, Buddy
Keep on doing it B

Your nickname is a good name for me
Because I believe you are my buddy
I love the life I live
You're the best that ever did it and got away with it

Well, thanks a lot
You ain't done it so bad yourself, old boy
When I'm pushing up daisies, don't forget
You're still my buddy

I came home this morning
Oh what a shock
When I found out my key
No longer fit my lock
Oh baby
You just go right back out there where you've been
'Cause while you were slippin' out
Oh someone else was slippin' in

I thought I was your fool
That you could count on
One was right there
When no one else is at home
But oh baby
I think I found myself a new friend
But while you were slippin' out
Oh Lord, someone else was slippin' in

Now cry your heart out
Oh you don't mean a thing to me
I'm a brand new man
And you can plainly see
A new way to walk people and of wearin' my hair
This big smile you see on my face
You didn't put it there
I got a new way of wearin' my hair
This big smile on my face babe
You didn't put it there
Oh baby
You just take me back out there where you've been
'Caue while you were slippin' out
Someone else was slippin' in
Oh Lord

Now cry your heart out
Oh you don't mean a thing to me
I'm a brand new man
Even Stevie Wonder can see
A new way to walk people and of wearin' my hair
This big smile on my face baby
You didn't put it there

I got a new way of wearin' my hair
This big smile on my face
You didn't put it there
Oh baby
You just go right back out there where you've been
'Cause while you were slippin' out
Someone else was slippin' in
I said while you were slippin' out
Someone else was slippin' in
I said while you were slippin' out
Oh someone else was slippin' in
I said while you were slippin' out
Someone else was slippin' in

I came home this morning
Oh what a shock
When I found out my key
No longer fit my lock
Oh baby
You just go right back out there where you've been
'Cause while you were slippin' out
Oh someone else was slippin' in

I thought I was your fool
That you could count on
One was right there
When no one else is at home
But oh baby
I think I found myself a new friend
But while you were slippin' out
Oh Lord, someone else was slippin' in

Now cry your heart out
Oh you don't mean a thing to me
I'm a brand new man
And you can plainly see
A new way to walk people and of wearin' my hair
This big smile you see on my face
You didn't put it there
I got a new way of wearin' my hair
This big smile on my face babe
You didn't put it there
Oh baby
You just take me back out there where you've been
'Caue while you were slippin' out
Someone else was slippin' in
Oh Lord

Now cry your heart out
Oh you don't mean a thing to me
I'm a brand new man
Even Stevie Wonder can see
A new way to walk people and of wearin' my hair
This big smile on my face baby
You didn't put it there

I got a new way of wearin' my hair
This big smile on my face
You didn't put it there
Oh baby
You just go right back out there where you've been
'Cause while you were slippin' out
Someone else was slippin' in
I said while you were slippin' out
Someone else was slippin' in
I said while you were slippin' out
Oh someone else was slippin' in
I said while you were slippin' out
Someone else was slippin' in

I've been around a while
I know wrong from right
And since a long time ago
Things been always black and white
Just like you can't judge a book by the cover
We all gotta be careful
How we treat one another

Skin Deep
Skin Deep
Underneath we're all the same
Skin Deep
Skin Deep
Underneath we're all the same
We're all of the same

A man in Louisiana
He never called me by my name
He said "boy do this and boy do that"
But I never once complained
I knew he had a good heart
But he just didn't understand
That I needed to be treated
Just like any other man

Skin Deep
Skin Deep
Underneath we're all the same
Skin Deep
Skin Deep
Underneath we're all the same
We're all of the same

I sat my little child down
when he was old enough to know
I said I fell in this big wide world
You're gonna be all kinda froze
I said son it all comes down to just one simple rule
That you treat everybody just the way
You want them to treat you
Yeah

Skin Deep
Skin Deep
Underneath we're all the same
Skin Deep
Skin Deep
Underneath we're all the same
We're all of the same
Skin Deep
Underneath we're all the same
Skin Deep
Skin Deep
Underneath we're all the same
We're all of the same
Yeah

Oh, I've got no one there for now
Since my baby's love had been done with
Well, I don't know what to do
I sit and cry and sing the blues

Well, no one to cry on her sweet name
And my heart is filled with pain
Oh I only think of you
I sit and cry and sing the blues
Blues found in my bloodstream
Blues found in my home
Blues found in my soul
I got blues all in my bones

Oh no one to depend on
Since my baby's love had been gone
Oh I don't know what to do
I sit and cry and sing the blues

Oh yeah!
Come here baby!

Oh no one to depend on
Since my baby's love has been gone
Whoa, I don't know what to do
I sit and cry and sing the blues
I sit and cry and sing the blues

She said she liked to party
She, sure looked good
She said, let me show you what I got
Under my hood
She slid on over
And she, called me honey
She said, before you get a kiss [msss]
You got to show me the money

Show me the money
Don?t be talking no trash
Only thing better than money is a
Pile of that cold hard cash

Took my baby out on the town
The other night
Drinking champagne in the
Candlelight
I told the waiter bring another bottle
For my honey
He said, before we pop the cork you got to
Show me the money

Show me the money
Don?t be talking trash
Only thing better than money is a
Pile of that cold hard cash

On my way home
I stopped to catch the last call
I could hear the band jamming
The people was having a ball
The owner asked me
If I would sit in
I said, I ain?t no dummy
Show me the money

Show me?
You know just what I mean
Don?t be talkin trash
If you want the real deal now
Show me that cold hard cash

Show me the money
Show me the money
Show me the money
Show me the money

The only thing better than money is a
Pile of that cold hard cash
