You’ll never find me walking on the other side of town
They get so rich up there it brings me down
Fat cats get their pictures in the magazine
Trophy wife big ole house long black limousine
I've been up, I've been down
You could say I've been around
Been out there in the cold
With no ones hand to hold
I’ve been wrong I’ve been right
Work’n hard both day and night
But to tell the truth I ain't got much to show
You’re gonna see me smile’n on the day my ship comes in
Pockets full wallet won’t be thin
Up some days and down the rest some times you just can’t choose
Now there’s dirt in my pockets and sand in my shoes
I've been up, I've been down
You could say I've been around
Been out there in the cold
With no ones hand to hold
I’ve been wrong I’ve been right
Work’n hard both day and night
But to tell the truth I ain't got much to show
Last night I had a dream it was all in black and white
Lady luck and me we were hang’n tight
I kissed her on the lips and I swear my head got light
I woke up in a real cold sweat when she said goodnight
Solo Chorus
Solo Bridge
I've been up, I've been down
You could say I've been around
Been out there in the cold
With no ones hand to hold
I’ve been wrong I’ve been right
Work’n hard both day and night
But to tell the truth I ain't got much to show
