When It All Comes Down (I'll Still Be Around)
B.B. King · Other Songs - B.B. King
No one knows what it all means
You're still out there
Looking for a brand new scene
And I'm still here
Never have been hard to find
When new gets old
I'll be playing on your mind
When it all comes down, look for me
I'll still be around
When it all comes down, look for me
I'll still be around
The day will come when there's nothing new to see
And then you'll know here is where you want to be
You know my song used to take your heart away
That same old feel is gonna bring you back to stay
When it all comes down, look for me
I'll still be around
When it all comes down, look for me
I'll still be around
