Livin' It Down |
| My ship came and she sunk it |
| I was the toast of the town and she drunk it |
| I had a run of good luck and she ran it right into the ground |
| And now’s she’s puttin' on a show and |
| I get to play the clown |
| I had the wind in my sails and she took it |
| I had the world by the tail and she shook it |
| I reached out for a lifeline and she threw me a noose |
| I got the short end of the chicken and |
| She got the golden goose |
| She’s livin' it up, and I’m tryin' to live it down |
| Just when I got it all together |
| It’s all about to come unwound |
| Everbody laughing behind my back, baby |
| Sure is a sad old sound |
| She’s out there livin' it up and I’m tryin' to live it down |
| Oh man I’m having a hard time |
| I wouldn’t talk to a dog the way that woman talks to me |
| Sheesh, and money |
| I ain’t got no more money |
| She done spent all my money |
| It’s bad bad business, bad business |
| I had my ducks in a row and she shot 'em |
| I had my eggs in a basket and she dropped 'em |
| I her out of the house but she was back like a boomerang |
| Sometime you get the honey |
| Sometime all you get is the sting |
| She’s livin' it up, and I’m tryin' to live it down |
| Just when I got it all together |
| It’s all about to come unwound |
| Everbody laughing behind my back, baby |
| Sure is a sad old sound |
| She’s out there livin' it up and I’m tryin' to live it down |
| She’s livin' it up, and I may never live it down |
