Throw me a ^Alife line Is anybody ^Dhome. Seems like ^Eyesterday ‘ay I was just standing on the corner, ^Dwaiting for the old bon ton

It never was a ^Areal job Never worked all the ^Dtime. But it ^Epaid for a this and a that, bought the baby per^Dfume, ^Dand it kept us alive

Oh, ^Ewhat I wouldn’t give to turn the ^F#mtime back around and the ^Gtanka tanka accordion ^D

I wanna do ^Aright ^D I don’t want to do ^Awrong ^D I wanna keep it ^Asimple ^D I wanna keep it ^Astrong ^D I need to help my ^Abrothers ^DAnd help the family ^Grise ^Aabo^Dve I wanna do ^Aright ^D I don’t want to do ^Awrong ^D

I miss the kind of ^Atrouble That never lasted too ^Dlong. The ^Ekind where you could clear your mind with a couple of ^Ddrinks and a traveling song

I never had a bowl of ^Acherries no,no Now that ain’t ^Dnews. But I’d ^Egive anything to get back to that dirty old ^Droom full of mingingy blues

I think I’d ^Erather have the wind and the ^F#mrain and the president’s ^Gplane and a big bass drum ^D

I wanna do ^Aright ^D I don’t want to do ^Awrong ^D I wanna keep it ^Asimple ^D I wanna keep it ^Astrong ^D I need to help my ^Abrothers ^DAnd help the family ^Grise ^Aabo^Dve I wanna do ^Aright ^D I don’t want to do ^Awrong ^D

I think I’d ^Erather have the wind and the ^F#mrain and the president’s ^Gplane and a big bass drum ^D

I wanna do ^Aright ^D I don’t want to do ^Awrong ^D I wanna keep it ^Asimple ^D I wanna keep it ^Astrong ^D I need to help my ^Abrothers ^DAnd help the family ^Grise ^Aabo^Dve I wanna do ^Aright ^D I don’t want to do ^Awrong ^D

I wanna do ^Aright ^D I don’t want to do ^Awrong ^D
