Well, once I lived the life of a millionaire, spending my money, no, I didn't care
|
Takin' my friend John out for a mighty good time
|
Buyin' high-priced liquor, champagne and wine
|
|
Then I began to fall so low, didn't have a friend, nor no place to go
|
If I get my hands on a dollar again
|
I'm goin' to hold on to it until the eagle grins
|
|
Soon as I get back up on my feet again, everybody wants to be my long-lost friend
|
It's might strange, without a doubt
|
Nobody wants you when you're down and out
|
|
Lord, soon as I get up on my feet again, everybody wants to be my long-lost friend
|
It's mighty strange, without a doubt
|
Nobody wants you when you're down and out
|
That's what I mean, when you're down and out
|
