B.b. King - The Lowdown lyrics

I keep laughing Through the tears i cry No way life is getting to me We're all out there Gotta live and die No one's above it May as well love it Face the music This is your time to dance Let your life roll on When they hit you Just get up And go another round Oh baby, don't you know I know the lowdown Everything that's going up Must go down Speed it up or slow down Life's a merry-go-round Ride it high 'cause we all hit the ground I had money And it all slipped away Guess i didn't really, really need it I can make it Living day to day Don't look for answers Follow the dancers Face the music 'cause they're playing your tune Let the night roll on Take it from me 'cause i've been the long Long way around Oh baby, don't you know I know the lowdown Everything that's going up Must go down Speed it up or slow down Life's a merry-go-round Ride it high 'cause we all hit the ground
