I got a friend at the bar his name is Ray and I really don't know what he's trying to say
His skin is black, mine is white to me there's no difference wrong or right
Told me he'd leave the girl at the curb Told me never to speak an unkind word My brother's got rhythm I got the blues but Babe we love to live the life that we choose
But now I know what they was trying to say I gotta change my life change my ways
Solo
Now I know what they were trying to say I gotta change my life change my ways
Now when the night comes babe you know I'll be found I'll be playing the blues on every stage in town
And theres a song to be played and theres a song to be sung 'cause there's a little lovin' boy in everyone
