Nobody Wants You When You're Down and Out
Well, once I lived the life of a millionaireSpending my money, no, I didn't careTakin' my friend John out for a mighty good timeBuyin' high-priced liquor, champagne and wineThen I began to fall so lowDidn't have a friend, nor no place to goIf I get my hands on a dollar againI'm goin' to hold on to it until the eagle grinsSoon as I get back up on my feet againEverybody wants to be my long-lost friendIt's might strange, without a doubtNobody wants you when you're down and outLord, soon as I get up on my feet againEverybody wants to be my long-lost friendIt's mighty strange, without a doubtNobody wants you when you're down and outThat's what I mean when you're down and out
