Nowhere To Go But Down

A day late and a dollar short since the day that you were conceived
Well, back off buddy, you're my friend, but your dark cloud's raining on me
You say you're a social drinker, well you sure socialize a lot
It's high time you realize that you're the only problem you've got

So if you're gonna lie about it, lie to somebody else
And if you're gonna die about it, die on somebody else

You got nowhere, nowhere to go but down
Nowhere, nowhere to go but down yeah
I ain't no preacher, but you now that I'm your friend
Somebody yells fire, you don't look you just jump right in
I've seen you on your death bed, looking like a fading light
Five down and four to go, you always could put up a fight

So if you're gonna lie about it, lie to somebody else
And if you're gonna die about it, die on somebody else

You got nowhere, nowhere to go but down
Nowhere, nowhere to go but down, yeah
Nowhere to go to and no place to stay
The bill's overdue and you can't pay
You got nowhere, nowhere to go but down, yeah

Don't ask me for a handout, I ain't got it
You had a second chance, but brother, you shot it
Every time I see you, it's the same excuse
The same sad story for the same abuse
I don't know who you're trying to fool
But buddy, it ain't me

You got nowhere, nowhere to go but down
You got nowhere, nowhere to go but down
Nowhere to go to and no place to stay
The bill's overdue and you can't pay
You got nowhere, nowhere to go but down
Nowhere, nowhere to go but down
Nowhere, you got no, no, nowhere to go but down
