From the recording Home Bound Train
Lyrics
Verse 1
It can happen to you
Just like it happened to me
Will come knockin' at your door
Unexpectedly
May be in the daytime
Or the middle of the night
Whenever it comes, well
Better hold on tight
Chorus
Feel it burnin' down in your soul
This one thing I know
Can't fight the way you feel
If the blues don't get ya
Then the rhythm will
Verse 2
Three quarter time
Or twelve-eight bar
It doesn't matter
Where you are
Comin' round
Don't let it pass you by
Don't knock the blues
Till you give'em a try
Chorus
Feel it burnin' down in your soul
This one thing I know
Can't fight the way you feel
If the blues don't get ya
Then the rhythm will
Verse 3
It can happen to you
Just like it happened to me
Everybody gets the blues
Eventually
You will get through it
You'll be alright
The blues are not a problem
Just a way of life
Chorus
Feel it burnin' down in your soul
This one thing I know
Can't fight the way you feel
If the blues don't get ya
Then the rhythm will
If the blues don't get ya
If the blues don't get ya
If the blues don't get ya
Then the rhythm, the rhythm
The rhythm will
If the blues don't get ya
The rhythm, the rhythm
The rhythm will
If the blues don't get ya
Then the rhythm will
