Nobody Knows You When You're Down And Out

(Album: Layla Revisited (Live At LOCKN') - 2021)

Once I lived the life of a millionaire
Spent all my money, just didn't have any care
Took all my friends out for a mighty good time
Bought bootleg whiskey, champagne and wine

Then I began to fall so low
Lost all my good friends, I did not have nowhere to go
If I give my hands on a dollar again
I'm gonna hang on to it 'til that old eagle grins

Cause nobody loves you
When you're down and out
In your pocket, not one penny
And as for friends... you don't have many

When you finally get back on your feet again
Everybody wants to be your long-lost friend
Said it's mighty strange without a doubt
Nobody knows you when you're down and out

When you finally get back on your feet again
Everybody wants to be your long-lost friend
Said it's mighty strange without a doubt
Nobody knows you
Nobody knows you
Nobody knows you, yeah... when you're down and out
