Won't Be Down Always

I wrote this back in the Blues Alley days and have performed it many times for a live audience. It's a 16 bar blues with a nice shuffle rhythm and a lyric everyone can relate to.

Lyrics:

Won't Be Down Always
Copyright 1996 by Larry Heyl

I've been up. I've been down.
I've been so turned around.
I may be down now but I won't be down always.
I've been tight. I've been loose.
In fact I'm 'bout as loose as a goose.
I may be down now but I won't be down always.

Because sooner or later everything's got to take a turn.
For better or for worse .....
And baby when that better comes I'm gonna jump right on and get me some.
I may be down now but I won't be down always.

I've been down. I've been up.
I even drank from your loving cup.
Well I may be down now but I won't be down always.
I've been loose. I've been tight.
I've even been out all night.
I may be down now but I won't be down always.

And here's the reason why

Because sooner or later everything's got to take a turn.
For better or for worse .....
And baby when that better comes I'm gonna jump right on and get me some.
I may be down now but I won't be down always.

most people dont have time to listen to a 5 minute music vid..

[jamesraymondsmith]

i like your old silvertone,, if you drill a tiny hole at the bottom base of the neck where the neck meets the body you can put a starp button on there and attach your strap to that. you would be surprised at how easier thte guitar is to handle standing up. of course you would deface the guitar a bit.. you have alot of talent.. some of your vids are much better than others. i can relate to that. and they are short. cant argue with that. and you are having fun. that goes a long way.
