Lyrics

Once I lived a life of a million mare

Once I lived a life of luxury

Spending all my money and I didn't care

I spent money freely and didn't worry about it

Took my friends out we had a good time

I treated my friends and we enjoyed ourselves

Buying good old whiskey, champagne and wine

I bought expensive alcoholic drinks


Then I began to fall so low

Then I fell into a deep low point

Didn't have a friend and no place to go

I had no friends and nowhere to go

If I get my hands on a dollar again

If I get money again

I'm gonna hold on to it till then I give a grin

I'll hold onto it tightly and smile about it


Nobody knows you

Nobody recognizes or acknowledges you

When you're down and out

When you're experiencing hardship

It my pocket not one penny

I have no money in my pocket

And my friends well I haven't any

And I don't have any friends either


If I ever get back on my feet again

If I recover and become financially stable again

Go to see my long lost friends

I'll visit friends I haven't seen in a long time

Money's strange without a doubt

Money behaves oddly, it changes things

Nobody needs ya when you're down and out

No one cares about you when you're struggling


If I ever get back on my feet again

If I regain stability

Go to see my long lost friends

I'll reconnect with old friends

Money's strange without a doubt

Money's impact is strange and unpredictable

Nobody needs ya when you're down and out

No one values you when you're in need
