Gerry Rafferty - Don't Count Me Out lyrics

rate me

I sat down to cry

I heard a friend of mine say ‘My, oh my

What you doin' down there, boy, with your nose stuck on the ground?'

Hear me shout, don't count me out.

When the sun goes down

You'll find me sitting in a bar in the dark side of the town

And if you tell me that I drink too much and that it's going to be the death of me

Hear me shout, don't count me out.

You say you know me well

But you've only seen the outside, so brother, how can you tell?

I never listen to your advice 'cause it changes every single day

Hear me shout, don't count me out.

I sat down to cry

I heard a friend of mine say ‘My, oh my

What you doin' down there, boy, with your nose stuck on the ground?'

Hear me shout, don't count me out.
