nobody knows you when you're down and out
(Jimmie Cox) Well, once I lived the life of a millionaire Spending my money, no, I didn't care Takin' my friend John out for a mighty good time Buyin' high-priced liquor, champagne and wine. Then I began to fall so low, Didn't have a friend, nor no place to go. If I get my hands on a dollar again I'm goin' to hold on to it until the eagle grins. Soon as I get back up on my feet again Everybody wants to be my long-lost friend. It's might strange, without a doubt Nobody wants you when you're down and out. Lord, soon as I get up on my feet again Everybody wants to be my long-lost friend It's mighty strange, without a doubt Nobody wants you when you're down and out..
