Lead (with harmonist pedal (+octave)):
Verse:
Just a story from America
He left his job and he looked at her
I've had enough he put down his cup
And every time she would fill it up
Chorus:
When she'd say
Get up when they put you down
But like a boxer
You just spin around
Your kind of guy is so very few
Don't ever let them get the best of you
Verse:
And so he's working like a dog each day
And every week there'd be more overtime pay
And pretty soon he's got a Cadillac car
And on the weekends he would drive so far
Bridge:
And they don't slow down
America's such a speedy town
Hot clothes high society
He said it never get the best of me
Verse:
And then he met a girl with hair like the sun
With social status she was number one
He left it all and he left downtown
A little voice follows him around
Chorus:
And it'd say
Get up when they put you down
And like a boxer
You just spin around
Your kind of guy was so very few
I thought they'd never get the best of you
End:
Just a story of America
Just a story fro in America
Just a story of America
Just a story from America
