Born in 1963
In the shadow of Kennedy
I’m still a kid when the levee breaks
Man, oh man, that’s all it takes

And I'm on my way

Boy, you're not supposed to sing the blues
Where you come from
If you walk across those railroad tracks
Son, you’re on your own
But all I know is what I feel, and it can’t be wrong
Boy, you're not supposed to sing the blues
Where you come from
Where you come from
It’s just not done

Back in black and I'm 17
I’ve been told, son, let it be
I got these lines upon my face now
A room at the heartbreak hotel
Yeah yeah

Oh well, oh well
Ah yeah

Boy, you're not supposed to sing the blues
Where you come from
If you walk across those railroad tracks
Son, you’re on your own
All I know is what I feel, and it can’t be wrong
Boy, you're not supposed to sing the blues
Where you come from
Where you come from
It's just not done

Oh well, oh well
Alright

Boy, you're not supposed to sing the blues
Where you come from
If you walk across those railroad tracks
Son, you’re on your own
But all I know is what I feel, and it can’t be wrong
Boy, you're not supposed to sing the blues

Where you come from
Where you come from
It’s just not done

Europe is a Swedish rock band formed in Upplands Väsby, Sweden in 1979, by frontman Joey Tempest, guitarist John Norum, bassist Peter Olsson, and drummer Tony Reno. They obtained a major breakthrough in Sweden in 1982 by winning the televised competition “Rock-SM” (Swedish Rock Championships): it was the first time this competition was held, and Europe became a larger success than the competition itself.
