It's A Blues Thing
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
If you washed your car you can bet it's gonna rain
It's a blues thing
One more stitch in time but I never say no nine
It's a blues thing
Step one foot forward you can bet I'm two steps back
It's a blues thing
Loan your money to a friend never see his face again
It's a blues thing
It's a blues thing
Ain't nothin' you can do ain't nobody you can blame
It's a blues thing
If your place is a mess on an uninivited guest
It's a blues thing
When you set the date your baby will make you wait
It's a blues thing
It's a blues thing
Ain't nothin' you can do ain't nobody you can blame
Oh Lord, Lord it's a blues thing
Ain't nothin' you can do nobody to blame
It's a blues thing
Well, well, well
You only get the axe when your credit card gets maxed
It's a blues thing
When the bucks start rollin' in taxman take them back again
It's a blues thing
It's a blues thing
Ain't nothin' you can do ain't nobody to blame
Whoa-whoa Lord, Lord it's a blues thing
Ain't nothin' you can do no one you can blame
It's blues thing
Oh-well-well, come on, yeah
Um-hmm
Alright
Yeah-yeah
Come on
I could tell ya my story
Wanna tell my story
Ooh-yeah
Ooh-oh-yeah
It's a blues thing
Come on
It's a blues thing
I'm not the rain
But it's a blues thing
I'm not the pain
Everybody got the pain
Talkin' about a blues thing, a thing
Talkin' about a blues thing, alright ya'all
You wanna know?
Let me tell ya
Let me tell ya 'bout the blues thing
It's get's ya way in your head, ya'all
It get's ya deep in your soul
It get's ya down in your body
It get's ya to your toes
It's a blues thing, yeah
Come on ya'all listen to me
Soul, it's alright
Come on, come on, come on
You got to get it, get it, get it
Yeah, yeah, yeah
It's a blues thing
Work something
Play your guitar!

I can see you rock
Say yeah
Push-push
Squeeze, squeeze, squeeze, squeeze
Get down, alright
