Pay Your Dues

All that jazz and country too
They all have to pay their dues
Pay their dues
To the blues
Rock and bebop, disco too
They all have to pay their dues
Pay their dues
To the blues
If you pay your dues over time
You might wake up someday and find
You can't lose with the blues
Pay your dues
In the Mississippi rain
All them blues men felt the pain
Paid their dues
To the blues
All them hep cats, they felt the same
On the New York subway train
Paid their dues
To the blues
If you pay your dues over time
You might wake up someday and find
You can't lose with the blues
Pay your dues
Rock out, Roddy!
INSTRUMENTAL
If you pay your dues over time
You might wake up someday and find
You can't lose with the blues
Pay your dues
Reggae man with Jamaican weed
Cowboy with his trusty steed
Paid their dues to the blues
Dylan, Springsteen, Elvis, The Who
Backstreet Boys and Dixie Chicks too
Paid their dues to the blues
In conclusion, let me say
Get down, get down on your knees
And pray
You can't lose with the blues
Pay your dues
You can't lose with the blues
Pay your dues
You can't lose with the blues
Yeah!
