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!

Yeah!

Ba dip dibba dibba dibba di dip

Da dt dt dt dt dt dt dt dt dt dt dt

Da dt dt dt dt dt dt dt dt dt dt dt

Hey! Yeah!
