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

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

And it feels like rain

Lying underneath the stars

And how do you do, baby

The clouds roll in across the moon
And the wind howls out your name
And it feels like rain
Baby, can you feel

We ain't ever gonna make
that bridge tonight, babe
across lake Pontchartrain
And it feel like rain

So batten down the hatches baby
Leave your heart out on your sleeve
It looks like we're in for stormy weather
That ain't no cause for us to leave

Just lie here in my arms
And let it wash away the pain
And it feels like rain

Baby can you feel it
Gonna let your love wash over me

It feels like rain

I don't care how you feel
You just don't realize
You got yourself a good deal

Yeah, you're a down and dirty blues man
Look-a-here
You play blues on blue guitar
According to the news man
As far as blues goes you a star
I'll admit you gettin' down there
But I'm down much deeper then you are

Yeah, you sing those songs of sorrow
But to me you just don't sound real
You say you're down enough to borrow
I must be down enough to steal
Now the blues ain't what you're singin'
The blues is what I feel

You tell me your love light is dimmin'
And how your old lady cheats
You go backstage with all the women
While I go back out on the street


Well, you know that you're a winnner
And you tell me you were born to lose
But please, please, please, don't tell me about the blues

You tell it like you're barefoot
And you're wearin' those hondred dollar shoes
Yeah, you can shuck and jive me all you wanna
But please, please don't tell me about the blues

Yeah, you tell me you a poor man
While you flashin' those ruby rings
But on a million dollar tour
Man, you can flash more than a goddamn thing
But it's me who's payin' my dues
So please, man, don't tell me about the blues

We need help in our city, people, we need a lot of help in our town
We need a lot of help in our city, you know, we need a lot of help in our town

We need help in our schools, we need a lot of help in our home
We need a lot of help in our schools, we need a lot of help in our home
'Cause, Lord knows, somewhere, somehow, oh, somethings going all wrong

They tried to tear down the high-rise and the laws say that was wrong

We need help in our city, we need a lot of help, people, here in our town
Oh, we need help in our city, and, uh, we need a lot of help, people, in our town

The way you been acting lately baby, lord
Oh, you're 'bout to go drive me out of my mind

You know I sit in a dark room, yes

Oh, you know you make me sit in a dark room
With the tears rollin' down from my eyes

You know I can hear my little girl say
Oh, my father is a hurt child



Oh, when I leave I'm goin' back south
People, where the weather you know they suit my clothes, wow

You know I think I move back south
You know where the weather, you know that good weather sure suits my clothes

But in last two winters man you know I've almost froze

You know it snowed in Chicago

'Till I can walk down the streets you know and I couldn't see myself

Well you know I was tryin' to find my baby
You know she was right over, right over snowin' with somebody else

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

Don't run around
And just sing the blues
But oh you can never my friend, listen

Somebody got to loose
