Don’t Let the Bastards Get You Down Songtext
von Margo Price

Don′t let the bastards get you down
Don't sell your heart to no business man
He′ll sell it back next time around
Don't let the bastards get you down

There's a new town coming my way
On this never ending highway
I missed my baby′s birthday
I′m feeling sorry in the worst way
It seems I'm always losing
For another life they′re choosing
They make you go the distance
'Til you lose your own existence

Don′t let the bastards get you down
Don't let ′em sell your heart and steal you blind
Make sure there's no next time around
Don't let the bastards get you down


From Aberdeen to Austin
St Augustine to Boston
We ain′t about to give it
To those who just can′t live it
They wanta wear your rhinestones
Man they ain't got the backbone
Those tone deaf sons a bitches
They don′t know your rags to riches

Don't let the bastards get you down
Don′t let them beat you up and bruise your pride
Don't give yourself to common clowns
Don′t let the bastards get you down

When dreams become a nightmare
You wake up bound for nowhere
Too poor to pay attention
Too far and few to mention
Dudes lookin' down their noses
Thinkin' bullshit smells like roses
All the cocaine in existence
Couldn′t keep your nose out of my business

Don′t let the bastards get you down
Don't sell your heart to no business man
He′ll sell it back next time around
Don't let the bastards get you down
Keep all them haters underground
Don′t let the bastards get you down
