Erik Buell & The Thunderbolts Taken Down Blues Lyrics

You know you’ve caught me in your spell
Magic mama know me so well
Pull my strings, make me your tool,
Flash that smile, make me your fool.
You tell me again that you’re gonna be mine,
But I know inside it’s just a matter of time.
You’ll be lookin’ around,
Roamin the grounds,
Out on the town,
I know you’ll take me down.

You sure know how to play me girl,
Set the hook when you toss those curls,
Pull my line ‘til I’m runnin’ hot,
Long legs lure ‘til I’m totally caught.
Then you say you’re gonna take me high,
But I know inside that it’s just a lie.
Soon I’ll be back on the ground,
In the lost not found,
When I look you’ll be gone, I know you’ll take me down.

You’re always ready when I stand,
Lasso me back and burn in your brand.
I’m a wounded bull with a broken horn
Caught in your fences, tattered and torn.
Then you say that you love me so,
But when I feel hope then you let me go,
You’ve found a new man,
You don’t give a damn
Hear me moan,
I know you’ll take me down.

I’m flat on the ground
You can’t be found,
You’ve up and you’ve gone,
Sure ;’nuf, you took me down.

You’re out sniffin’ around,
Baitin’ the hounds
Playin’ the town
I’ve been taken down
