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 Everybody's laughing behind my back Baby, sure is a sad old sound She's out therе livin' it up and I'm tryin' to live it down I had my ducks in a row and she shot 'em I had my еggs in a basket and she dropped 'em I threw her out of the house but she was back like a boomerang Sometimes you get the honey and Sometimes 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 Everybody's 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
