the rustix - down, down lyrics
[verse 1]
when i was just a child of a man
lord, about the age of two
mama told me, “son, there’s a song to sing
when anything’s bothering you
it’s a simple song, it’s guaranteed
to take a big load off of you
so when you get the feeling like the roof’s coming in
mama’s song will pacify you”
[chorus]
singing down, down, don’t you get down
take it on the chin, son
down, down, don’t you get down
take it on the chin, son
[verse 2]
twenty years later, i met me a woman
looked like a breath of spring
she had the sun in her hair, fire on her lips
and lord, i gave her everything
but she stepped through me and she twisted my head
feel i couldn’t take it no more
but i could still see the look on her face
as i walked on through the door
[chorus]
singing down, down, don’t you get down
take it on the chin, son
down, down, don’t you get down
take it on the chin, son
yeah, alright
[guitar solo]
[verse 3]
newspapers, television talkin’ ’bout making love and war
people running here, people running there
everybody’s looking for a door
but no one’s gonna open it, no one’s got the key
no one knows what’s ever wrong
so i lock myself inside my head
and sing my momma’s song
[break]
[verse 4]
people, when my god comes-a callin’ me
to answer for what i’ve done
i won’t die like a coward of a man
i never did hurt anyone (no, no, no, no)
and i did my best to see life through
though the struggle was hard and long
and as i laugh ’til my peace lasts
i’ll be singing my mama’s song
[chorus]
i’m singing down, down, don’t you get down
singing down, down, don’t you get down
singing down, down, don’t you get down
down, down, don’t you get down
down, down, don’t get down, baby
down, down, don’t get down, baby
