We all go on a two month tour and nearly work ourselves sick Now we don’t know where all the money goes but we sure aint getting rich I think the fat men in New York and L.A. are giving us the whole run around You bring 50000 home and he says your overdrawn it’ll just about get you down   Just about get you down But we keep on pickin’ and we keep on singing And we try and try to get high but we can keep on grinning Oh you wish you had home and someone of your own to love you when you get back in town But this kind of live don’t cotton to wife   It’ll just about get you down Just about get you down Solo Yea you got fortune and fame and a well known name aww your really flying high Whether your rock or country or blues or funky we’re all make the same inside Living in fear of later years when nobody’s gonna want you around Yes the Brothers of the Road all share the same the load and it’ll just about get you down If you let it it’ll bring you it down Chorus 2: You gotta keep on pickin’ You gotta keep on singing And you try and you try to stay high but you can keep on grinning You spend a lot of time alone and talking on the phone to the latest love that you found And cry over the girl you really wanted in your world   It’ll just about get you down if you let it it’ll bring you down Chorus
