You say "Your party's jumpin' and everybody's havin' a good time
Now you know what's goin' through my mind
Do you mind if I get comfortable and kick of these shoes
While you're fixin' me a drink
Play me some o' them down home blues"

You know "I don't get out much on the town
And you know I done cut out a lot of that runnin' around
All week long I've been keepin' my cool
But tonight I'm gonna let my hair down
And get down with these down home blues"

Down home blues, down home blues
All she wanted to hear was some down home blues
All night long, ev'ry other record or two
Now "Take off those fast record
And let me hear some down home blues"

(Instrumental Break)

"You know my ol' man is gonna wanna fight
He calls ev'ry hour I'll be gettin in tonight
But I don't care, tonight I'm gonna do as I choose
I'm gonna get my head back
And party off these down home blues"

Down home blues (down home blues)
Down home blues (down home blues)
All she wanted to hear was these down home blues
All night long, ev'ry other record or two
She say "I'm gonna lay my head back
And party off these down home blues"
