Lyrics
Gettin’ Down and Playin’ the Blues
I always get up early, even ‘for the night is done
Start takin’ care of business, say good morning to the sun
Fix breakfast for the family, pack lunches, catch the news
Kiss goodbye my Honey, get my babies off to school
Steal some time for coffee, check my schedule for the day
Then twenty four hours is once again on it’s merry way
Oh- huh
I spend the hours doing chores, hanging clothes, washing floors
Feed the cat, walk the dog, get the specials at the store
Try not to drop the groceries, call my girlfriends on the phone
But when evening comes and dinner is done, I’m out that door
Don’t let the bugs bite and sleep tight,
Honey I love ya, see you tonight, It’s mamma’s time to play
Chorus: Oh, and just because I go out some nights on the town
Don’t give you right to judge me or put me down
CauseYou don’t even know what it is that I do
I’m not out playin’ up, I’m getting’ down and playin’ the blues
Well I live in what you might call a pretty nice neighbourhood
I’ve worked hard all my life and so I really think I should
Got a husband that I’m crazy’ bout and kids that I adore
But every so often I find myself wantin’ just a little more
So I’ve got myself a secret, it must drive the neighbours wild
The thing that I do when I’m already being a mother and a wife
Chorus: Oh, and just because……….
Ext Chorus:
Oh, and just because I go out some nights on the town
Don’t give you right to judge me or put me down
You don’t even know what it is that I do
I’m not out playin’ up, I’m getting’ down
With the man that I married, two little boys that I love
And the guys that I make music with we all know what’s going on
And those of you who wanna know what it is I do
I’m not out playin’ up, I’m getting’ down and playin’ the blues
