One, two, three
I got lost down in Rio
I was running from the FBI
Yeah, they had me on some charges back in San Anton'
You know I never got the reason why
I turned up in a casino
And my hands up and ready to fight
The whole damn Mariachi band
For playing the same tune twice
I get high 'cause I want to
I get low every day
I get high 'cause I want to
Gotta do something
To keep the blues away
You know the last time that I seen her
My girl was lookin' mighty fine
Starin' through the glass at a police station
Just tryin' hear, the end of the line
I know I said it and I mean it
I am tryin' to change my life
But when time's get tough, yeah, the tough get hard
And you can cut me with a butter knife
I get high 'cause I want to
I get low every day
I get high 'cause I want to
Gotta do something
To keep the blues away
I get high 'cause I want to
I get low every day
I get high 'cause I want to
Gotta do something
High 'cause I want to
Low every day
High 'cause I want to
Gotta do something
Keep the blues away
