I've Been Down

(앨범: High Notes - 1982)

Blew my last twenty dollars on an Oiler's football game
I only lost by half a point nothing ever goes my way
Reaganomics and plastic people making good luck hard to find
All this stuff that's going down's really got me down this time

I've been down but not this far before
I've been kicked around but never out the door
I've been down but not like this before

Well the preacher man's a talking on the TV
He's begging for my only dime
I'd take another shot of whiskey
If I thought it'd get him off my mind

I've been down but not this far before...

I had to find a way to get some money
Never thought I'd go this far but It would mean living out on the streets
So I robbed a liquor store with my daddy's army gun
Had to shoot a cop coming out the door and now God I'm on the run

I've been down but not this far before...

Never this far before
Knock knock knock
Knock knock knocking on the door
