Lyrics
I'VE BEEN DOWN
Lyrics by©Bernardo Barreto
Music by Bluepiano (M.Hubers)

I've been down
Yes I've been down, down, down
Oh, I've been down
Yes I've been down, down, down
But I've got enough of this shit
So I'm packing my suitcase and leaving this town.

I'm gonna catch the first plane to Florida
To see my family under the burning sun
I'm gonna catch the first plane to Florida
To see my family under the burning sun
I ain't gonna let no weather, no death, no traffic, no earthquake
Stop me from going where I belong.

I've been down
Yes I've been down, down, down
Oh, I've been down
Yes I've been down, down, down
But I've got enough of this shit
So I'm packing my suitcase and leaving this town.

I'm gonna catch the first plane to Florida
To see my family under the burning sun
I'm gonna catch the first plane to Florida
To see my family under the burning sun
I ain't gonna let no weather, no death, no traffic, no earthquake
Stop me from going where I belong.

There are too many blues guitarists on this site. Thanks for posting this. It's quite welcome. And I love your vox. It's a bit unconventional, but that's also all for the best.

Thanks...
So much for your comments.
Mike is an exceptional piano player I always thought he was from Chicago until I learned he was from Switzerland.
In this world of online collaborations it's so possible to make the connection of Peruvian/Swiss blues. That's the beauty of this.
