I can take a bad, bad day I can take a bad year It’s the little bit of everything That wears a man down here Everybody wants an answer Everybody wants it now I’ve been swallowing “goddamn” Till I can’t get nothing down Bite down and blow Till I’m bent down low Take a breth through my teeth Go back for more Don’t ask me what’s wrong Bite down Bite down and blow Tried to sleep it off Sunday Monday found me just the same Had a whole day doing nothing Still got tired anyway Now there’s dinner going cold And a chair I ought to take But I’ve got this harp between my hands And I’m wide damn awake Bite down and blow Till I’m bent down low Take a breth through my teeth Go back for more Don’t ask me what’s wrong Bite down Bite down and blow There’s spit down on my shirt And my head’s beginning to swim I stop to get my breathing right Then put it back again Tomorrow’s got enough for me I’ll take it when it comes Tonight I’m staying with this bend Till I get the fuckin’ damn thing done Bite down and blow Till I’m bent down low Take a breth through my teeth Go back for more Don’t ask me what’s wrong Bite down Bite down and blow
