Never Give Up Blues - Eric Burdon

I been down that country road

I been down that highway too

I been lost in the woods

I ain’t got no blues man shoes

I been down I been up

I slept in abandoned trucks

I been lost, lost in love

But I never, never did give up

I have dreamed of making love

I have dreamed of money too

I have seen a gambling man with his gold

And golden tooth

I been that

I been this

I have slept in a soggy ditch

I been lost, lost in love

But I never, never did give up

My cherie, my bon cherie

My Alabama Queen

You have stolen my poor heart

And my dreams

I have danced and I have fought

I’ve been told brother you’ve been caught

I have some broken vows

And I have broke some vows myself

I been crazy from the strain

But I got back up on my feet again

I have drank the oceans love

But I never, never did give up
