It doesn't matter if you're rich
It make no difference if your poor
The simple things in life
Make me mad to the core
It doesn't matter if you're young
Don't make no difference if you're old
You got to stand a little rain
Before you reach a pot of gold
Everybody gets the blues
Everybody got to cry
You take the good with the bad
You take the lows and the highs
Well you work and you worry
Spend your life paying dues
Everybody has a hard time sometime
Everybody gets the blues
Ain't no different for a woman
Than it is for a man
Everybody goes dancing
Everybody pays the band
Everybody got to take
Oh and everybody got to give
Everybody got to eat
Everybody got to live
Everybody gets the blues
Everybody got to cry
Ya take the good with the bad
Mm you take the lows and the highs
Well you work and you worry
Spend your life paying dues
Everybody has a hard time sometime
And everybody gets the blues
Huh yeah hey
It doesn't matter if you're fat
Don't matter if you're thin
Everybody got to lose
Everybody got to win Lord now, now
It don't matter if you're black
It don't matter if you're white yeah
You know you got to get this wrong
To have a chance to make it right
Everybody gets the blues
Everybody got to cry
Ya take the good with the bad
You take the lows and the highs
Well you work and you worry
Spend your life paying dues
Everybody has a hard time sometime
Everybody gets the blues
