Blew my last twenty dollars on an Oiler's football game I only lost by half a point nothing ever goes my way Reaganomics and plastic people makin' good luck hard to find All this stuff that's goin' down's really got me down this time I've been down but not this far before I've been kicked around but never out the door I've been down but not like this before Well the preacher man's a talkin' on the TV He's beggin' for my only dime I'd take another shot of whiskey If I thought it'd get him off my mind I've been down but not this far before I've been kicked around but never out the door I've been down but not like this before I had to find a way to get some money Never thought I'd go this far but It would mean living out on the streets So I robbed a liquor store with my daddy's army gun Had to shoot a cop coming out the door and now God I'm on the run I've been down but not this far before I've been kicked around but never out the door I've been down but not like this before Never this far before Knock knock knock Knock knock knockin' on the door
