The Marshall Tucker Band Lyrics
"Face Down In The Blues"

Face Down In The Blues
Marshall Tucker Band & Kid Bangham & Justin Amyl

Gtr Intro,

I wake up every morning with the dew on my face
Been down so long now without a trace
I shuffle through the streets, alone
It's too late for me, I can't go home,
I know that I'm face down in the blues

I'm been down so many times before,
All the lonely times I can't get no lower no more
Oh you know that's true, I'm drownin' in it, FDITB

I put bread in my belly, just to stay alive
Markin' everything for a dollar ninty-nine
Oh why New York City you so mean
Now I'm drownin' in it, I'm face down in the blues

,Guitar Interlude with Wah–Wah,
,Guitar Interlude with heavy B3 support
and Gtr Blues overdrive,
//-BREAK-//

Twist the cap, Let it flow
Hey babe, smooth red glow
I know what's you're thinkin'
Ah, it just ain't right
But it's the only way, I can sleep tonight

Well I'm face down, Face down in the blues
Well I'm face down, Face down in the blues
Got all the trouble I can use,
Face down in the blues.

Guitar & out,
