Everybody Gets The Blues Lyrics - Ledbetter Heights - Kenny Wayne Shepherd

It don't matter if you're rich 

It don't make no difference if you're poor 

Simple things in life can make you mad to the core 

It doesn't matter if you're young 

Don't make no difference if you're old 

You got to stand a little rain 

Before you reach a pot of gold 

Chorus: 

Everybody gets the blues 

Everybody got to cry 

Take the good with the bad 

Take the lows and the high 

Well you work and you worry 

Spend you life paying dues 

Everybody has a hard time sometime 

Everybody gets the blues 

Ain't no different for a woman 

Than it is for a man 

Everybody goes dancing 

Everybody pays the band 

Everybody got to take 

Everybody got to give 

Everybody got to eat 

Everybody got to live 

[repeat chorus] 

Don't matter if you're fat 

Don't matter if you're thin 

Everybody got to lose 

Everybody got to win 

Don't matter if you're black 

Don't matter if you're white 

You know you got to get it wrong 

To have a chance to make it right 

[repeat chorus]
