I VE BEEN DOWN
BY
HANK WILLIAM S JR.
Blew my last twenty dollars on a Oiler s football game
I only lost by half a point, nothing ever goes my way
Reagonomics and plastic people makin good luck hard to find
All this stuff that s goin down s really got me down this time
I ve been down but not this far before
I been kicked around but never out the door
I been down but not like this before
Well the preacher man talking 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
Chorus
I had to find a way to get some money
Never thought I d go this far but it d mean livin out on the street
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
Chorus
