Delbert McClinton - Livin' It Down Lyrics
My ship came and she sunk it
I was the toast of the town and she drunk it
I had a run of good luck and she ran it right into the ground
And now's she's puttin' on a show and
I get to play the clown
I had the wind in my sails and she took it
I had the world by the tail and she shook it
I reached out for a lifeline and she threw me a noose
I got the short end of the chicken and
She got the golden goose
She's livin' it up, and I'm tryin' to live it down
Just when I got it all together,
It's all about to come unwound
Everbody laughing behind my back, baby
She's out there livin' it up and I'm tryin' to live it down
Oh man I'm having a hard time
I wouldn't talk to a dog the way that woman talks to me
Sheesh, and money
I ain't got no more money
She done spent all my money
It's bad bad business, bad business
I had my ducks in a row and she shot 'em
I had my eggs in a basket and she dropped 'em
I her out of the house but she was back like a boomerang
Sometime you get the honey
Sometime all you get is the sting
She's livin' it up, and I'm tryin' to live it down
Just when I got it all together,
It's all about to come unwound
Everbody laughing behind my back, baby,
Sure is a sad old sound
She's out there livin' it up and I'm tryin' to live it down
She's livin' it up, and I may never live it down
