Down Like Me Songtext
von Ken Stringfellow

At last I understand the consequences of my love
But how could there be a heaven where they kicked you out
′Cause you kicked out your chair from above?
Everybody loves to stick with the winner
But you showed me the line between victory and dying
Couldn't get much thinner
′Cause you, you found out how to get down
Down like me
When my self-pity became less than a full-time work
I meditated on the methods and the means
And whether or not it would hurt
Then I got the call that found you swinging out over the earth
So over me you win again in finishes, poems
In finals and in firsts
You finally had to get down Down like me
By the time you read this, I will no longer be here
I had to read these words to all your family, friends
Everybody who never helped you
We'll keep an empty place at dinner forever
And I'll maintain an empty chair so you can sit in it
And we′ll never grow old together
You showed ′em how to get down
Down like
Down like
Down like
Down like
Down like
Down like me
