Get Rhythm
Get Rhythm: Dance Through Blues with Johnny Cash's Musical Cure
Lyrics
Hey, get rhythm when you get the blues
Encouragement to find rhythm in life when feeling down
C'mon get rhythm, when you get the blues
Reiteration of the encouragement to embrace rhythm during tough times
Get a rock 'n roll feeling in your bones
Embrace the lively essence of rock 'n roll within you
Put taps on your toes and get goin'
Get active and start moving
Get rhythm, when you get the blues.
Reiteration of finding rhythm during moments of sadness
Little shoeshine boy never get slowed down
A metaphor highlighting the resilience of a shoeshine boy
But he's got the dirtiest job in town
Despite a tough job, he remains dedicated
Bendin' low at the peoples' feet
Describes the physical effort the boy puts in
On the windy corner of a dirty street
Illustrates the boy's challenging work environment
Well, I asked him while he shined my shoes
Questioning the boy about staying positive
How'd he keep from gettin' the blues
Asking how he avoids getting sad
He grinned as he raised his little head
Portrays the boy's cheerful attitude
Popped a shoeshine rag and then he said.
His response to maintaining a positive outlook
Hey, get rhythm when you get the blues
Reinforcement of the message to find rhythm during hardships
C'mon get rhythm, when you get the blues
Encouragement to embrace rhythm during tough times
A jumpy rhythm makes you feel so fine
Highlighting the uplifting impact of a lively rhythm
It'll shake all the troubles from your worried mind,
Explains how rhythm can alleviate worries
Get rhythm, when you get the blues.
Reiteration of finding rhythm during moments of sadness
Get rhythm, when you get the blues
Encouragement to find rhythm during tough times
C'mon get rhythm, when you get the blues
Reiteration of the encouragement to embrace rhythm during hardships
Get a rock 'n roll feeling in your bones
Embrace the lively essence of rock 'n roll within you
Put taps on your toes and get goin'
Get active and start moving
Get rhythm, when you get the blues.
Reiteration of finding rhythm during moments of sadness
Well, I sat down to listen to the shoeshine boy
Expressing enjoyment while observing the shoeshine boy
And I thought I was gonna jump with joy
Feeling uplifted and joyful by the boy's work
Slapped on the shoe polish left and right
Describing the actions of shining shoes
He took a shoeshine rag and he held it tight
Depicting the tight grip while polishing shoes
He stopped once to wipe the sweat away
Pausing momentarily to wipe off sweat
I said you're a mighty little boy to be-a workin' that way
Appreciating the boy's hard work despite his size
He said I like it with a big wide grin
Expressing the boy's enjoyment in his work
Kept on a poppin' and he said again
Continuing his joyful work and expression
Get rhythm, when you get the blues
Reiteration of finding rhythm during hardships
C'mon get rhythm, when you get the blues
Encouragement to embrace rhythm during tough times
It only cost a dime, just a nickel a shoe
Emphasizing the affordability of finding rhythm
It does a million dollars worth of good for you
Highlighting the immense value of rhythm for well-being
Get rhythm, when you get the blues
Reiteration of finding rhythm during moments of sadness
