Won’t somebody
Get this thing off'a my back
Won’t somebody
Please
Get this thing off a my back
Twenty-two years
Get this thing off a my back

You know early in the morning
It’s talkin’ , talkin' to me
Later on in the evening
It’s still talkin’ to me
It’s in my mind
Both night and day
Can’t turn it off
And I can’t get away

Please
Please
Won’t somebody get this thing
Off of my back

Life to me is like a bright light
So bright, so bright, so bright
It hurts my eyes
Sometimes I don’t like what I see
I feel like I’m made 'a live wire

Please
Please
Get this thing off a my back

They say sometimes all roads
Lead to the same place
The road I‘m on goin' down
Every time I manage to turn a corner
I just seem to go
Round and round

Please
Please
Get this thing
Off of my back

Vamp:
Twenty-two years
I don’t show it
Twenty-two years
You’d never know it
I got the blues on my shoulder

I got the blues on my shoulder
