Lyrics Face Down in the Blues - Doug Gray, The Marshall Tucker Band

Face Down in the Blues

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,
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,
