Don't you cry, don't you moan
Hang your head down all night long
That old feeling sure ain't nothing newIt's in your walk, it's in your talk
There's only one way to shake it off
You got to get to it before it gets to youSo put a quarter in that jukebox, let it drop
Put another one in, play it again, don't let it stop
There's only one thing I've found, that'll turn it all around
The blues can't do no business on a honky tonk side of townYou gotta slip, you gotta slide
They're gonna try to nail your hide
Yeah, they'll put a hurting on you, given half a chanceSo get mean and get slick
You gotta pull out every trick
'Cause everybody knows the blues don't like to danceSo put a quarter in that jukebox and let it drop
Put another one in, play it again, don't let it stop
There's only one thing I've found, that'll turn it all around
The blues can't do no business on a honky tonk side of townWell, you can walk that walk and talk that talk
And boogie till you shake it off
No the blues can't do no business, the blues can't do no business
The blues can't do no business on the honky tonk side of town
