ERIC CLAPTON - Nobody Knows You When You're Down & Out lyrics

rate me

(by jimmie cox)<br><br>Once I lived the life of a millionaire,<br>Spent all my money, I just did not care.<br>Took all my friends out for a good time,<br>Bought bootleg whisky, champagne and wine.<br><br>Then I began to fall so low,<br>Lost all my good friends, I did not have nowhere to go.<br>I get my hands on a dollar again,<br>I'm gonna hang on to it till that eagle grins.<br><br>'cause no, no, nobody knows you<br>When you're down and out.<br>In your pocket, not one penny,<br>And as for friends, you don't have any.<br><br>When you finally get back up on your feet again,<br>Everybody wants to be your old long-lost friend.<br>Said it's mighty strange, without a doubt,<br>Nobody knows you when you're down and out.<br><br>When you finally get back upon your feet again,<br>Everybody wants to be your good old long-lost friend.<br>Said it's mighty strange,<br>Nobody knows you,<br>Nobody knows you,<br>Nobody knows you when you're down and out.
