DOWN HOME COUNTRY BLUES
[ country; written by Joey Callahan, Mike Callahan and Gary Mitchusson ]

They repossessed my pickup, rent is two months late

I went to work at nine but my shift started at eight

My boss man said, "you're finished, you'll be turnin' in your keys

This'll be the last time you'll be workin' here for me"

I don't know where to turn, I don't know what to do

I think I got a bad case of those down home country blues

I was back at home by eleven, much to my surprise

There was Bubba's pickup parked up in my drive

My wife was in her housecoat throwin' my things in the yard

I'll never understand why life has to be so hard

She said she called a lawyer and they're about to sue

I think I got a bad case of those down home country blues

I went to see the preacher, to get me some advice

"Circle back an' get her boy, after all she is you're wife"

I walked up on the front porch an' saw Bubba in my chair

He was pointin' through the screen door, laughin' at me there

Said, "I hate to tell you, but you're time 'round here is through"

I think I got a bad case of those down home country blues

I went to see the doctor, told him "somethin's just not right

These tears in my eyes are interferin' with my sight

At night I toss an' turn, I never get any good rest

There is a constant poundin' in the center of my chest"

Doc said he was sorry, there was nothin' he could do

He said I had a bad case of those down home country blues

Country blues, country blues, country blues, country blues
