1. She said your party´s jumping, and everybody`s having a good time,
and you know what´s going through my mind
do you mind if I get comfortable, and kick of these shoes
while you`re fixing me a drink, play me some of that down home Blues.

2. She said you know I don`t get out much on the town
and you know I`ve done cut out a lot of that running around,
all week long, I`ve been keeping my cool
but tonight I`m going to let my hair down, and get down with these down home Blues

>> Down home Blues, down home Blues,
all she wanted to hear was some down home Blues,
all night long, every other record or two,
she said take off those flash records, and let me hear some down
home Blues.

3. She said you know my old man, going want to fight,
because I`ll be out, I`ll be getting it tonight,
but I don´t care, tonight I`m going to do as I choose,
I`m going to get my head back and party off these down home Blues.

they just won`t let you be
