Down and Out Songtext
von Commander Cody

Once I had a diamond ring, but I hocked it
Once I had a real fine home, but they locked it
I used to have a good thing going, but they knocked it
That was a long time ago, it ain′t that way no more

'Cause I′m down and out, I'm down and out

I used to drive a real fine car, now I'm thumbing
I used to smoke the fine cigars, baby, now I′m bumming
I never knew a bill till that job, now they done it
That was a long time ago, it ain′t that way no more

'Cause I′m down and out, I'm down and out

I′m as broke as the Ten Commandments
All my friends did the quick reverse
One thing's for certain, things′ll sure get better
'Cause they sure can't get no worse


The thing that I miss the most is my baby
When she left me it almost drove me crazy
I used to be a real go-getter, now I′m lazy
That was a long time ago, it ain′t that way no more

'Cause I′m down and out, I'm down and out

I′m as broke as the Ten Commandments
All my friends did the quick reverse
One thing's for certain, things′ll sure get better
'Cause they sure can't get no worse

The thing that I miss the most is my baby
When she left me it almost drove me crazy
I used to be a real go-getter, now I′m lazy
That was a long time ago, it ain′t that way no more

'Cause I′m down and out, I'm down and out


I′m down and out, baby
I'm down and out
I′m down and out, baby
I'm down and out
I'm down and out
I′m down and out
I′m down and out
I'm down and out
