Once lived the life of a millionaire
Spending my money and I didn't care
Taking all my friends out for a mighty good time
Buying high price liquors champagne and wine
But when I began fall so low no more friends no place to go
Why ever I get my hands on a dollar bill again
I'm gonna hold on to it till the eagle grins
Nobody knows you when you're down and out
In your pocket not one penny and your friends haven't any
If I ever get upon my feet again
Everybody wants to be my long lost friend
It's mighty strange beyond a doubt
There nobody knows you when you're down and out
[ ac.guitar ]
If I ever get upon my feet again...
I mean when you're down and out
