~ LIVIN' IT DOWN~
By Delbert McClinton
Livin' It Down
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 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 life line and she threw me a
noose
I got the short end of the chicken and she got the
golden goose.
She's living it up,and I'm tryin' to live it down.
Just when I got it all together ,it's all about to
come unwound.
Everybody laughin' behind my back, baby sure is a
sad old sound.
She's out there livin it up and I'm trying to live
it down.
I had my ducks in a row and she shot 'em,
I had my eggs in a basket she dropped 'em
I threw her outta the house but she was back like
a boomarang.
Sometimes you get the honey, sometime all you get
is the stang.
She's living it up, and I'm tryin' to live it down.
Just when I got it all together, it's all about to
come unwound.
Everybody laughin' behind my back, baby sure is a
sad old sound.
She's out there livin it up and I'm trying to live
it down.
She's out there livin it up and I'm trying to live
it down.
