nobody wants you when you're down and out

Well, once I lived the life of a millionaire
Spending my money, no, I didnt 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
Didnt have a friend, nor no place to go
If I get my hands on a dollar again
Im 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
Its might strange, without a doubt
Nobody wants you when youre down and out
Lord, soon as I get up on my feet again
Everybody wants to be my long-lost friend
Its mighty strange, without a doubt
Nobody wants you when youre down and out
Thats what I mean when youre down and out
