Songtexte Get Rhythm (Live) - The Highwaymen

Get rhythm when you get the blues
Get rhythm when you get the blues
Get a rock 'n' roll feeling in your bones
Put taps on your toes and get gone
Get rhythm when you get the blues

A little shoeshine boy never gets low down
Got the dirtiest job in town
Bending low at the peoples feet
On the windy corner of the dirty street
When I asked him how to shine my shoes
How'd he keep from getting the blues
He grinned as he raised his little head
He popped a shoeshine rag and then he said

Get rhythm when you get the blues
Get rhythm when you get the blues
It only costs a dime, just a nickle a shoe
Does a million dollars worth of good for you
Get rhythm when you get the blues

Get rhythm when you get the blues
Get rhythm when you get the blues
Get a rock 'n' roll feeling in your bones
Put taps on your toes and get gone
Get rhythm when you get the blues

Well, I sat down and listened to the shoeshine boy
And I thought I was gonna jump for joy
He slapped on the shoe polish left and right
He took a shoeshine rag and held it tight
He stopped once to wipe the sweat away
I said you're a mighty little boy to be working that way
He said I like it with a big white grin
He kept on popping and he said again

Get rhythm when you get the blues
Get rhythm when you get the blues
Get a rock 'n' roll feeling in your bones
Put taps on your toes and get gone
Get rhythm when you get the blues
