I've Been Down

Blew my last 20 dollars

On an Oilers football game

I only lost by half a point

Nothin' ever goes my way

Reaganomics and plastic people

Makin' good luck hard to find

All this stuff that's goin' down

Really got me down this time

I've been down

But not this far before

I've been kicked 'round

But never out the door

I've been down

But not like this before

Well, the preacher man talkin' on the TV

He's beggin' 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

Been kicked 'round

But never out the door

I've been down

But not like this before

I had to find a way to get some money

Never thought I'd go this far

But it is mean livin' out on the streets

So I robbed a liquor store with my daddy's army gun

Had to shoot a cop comin' out the door

And now, God, I'm on the run

I've been down

But not this far before

I've been kicked 'round

But never out the door

I've been down

But not like this before

Never this far before

Knock, knock, knock, knock

Knockin' on the door
