I have some good time, I have some bad time
But it seem I get movin’ my share of the worst time
There ain’t no place in this whole wide world, for one lonely boy
It seem I ain’t never, never gonna find no calls for jobs
Some people get rich, I would only get poor
Some people love to have a good time and won’t let me in the door
I’ve been halfway around this world and nothing did I have
But now it seem my turn has come, a time for me to grab

You got to get it before it gets you
Oh you got to get it before it gets you
Lord, you got to get it before it gets you and everything will be
Alright
Some people try and never have found, I turned the whole world upside down
Gonna get it before it gets you
Oh I say you got to get it before it gets you
Oh try to get it before it gets you
