"Live It Down" lyrics

"Live It Down"

Feel like I start swingin'
Soon as my two feet hit the floor
The hands of time keep spinnin'
Everybody knockin' down my door
Ya know I get a little nervous
When my telephone starts to ring
Ol' credit man keeps callin'
He ain't gettin' a goddamn thing

I can't make the wheels roll
With your first check in the hole
I wish I could click my heels
And jump on the golden road
I'd be walkin'
Yes, I would

There's gonna come a day
You will hear me say

Oh, give me all that I can carry
Oh, said it's cheaper by the pound
Oh, come on, baby, doncha worry
Let's live it up till we can't live it down
Can't live it down

Reachin' up from the bottom
I tell ya it's a bitch
It's a helluva thing to break your back
Just to make another man rich

Ain't no pie in the sky
When you're barely gettin' by
Every day's on layaway
And it's tryin' to bleed me dry
Got me runnin'
Yes, I am

Honey, fill my cup
Yeah, we gonna live it up

Oh, give me all that I can carry
Oh, said it's cheaper by the pound
Oh, come on, baby, doncha worry
Let's live it up till we can't live it down

Let it loose mama
I can see that ship comin' in
Let it loose mama
Yeah, we gonna get down again, gonna get down

Oh, give me all that I can carry
Oh, said it's cheaper by the pound
Oh, come on, baby, doncha worry
Let's live it up till we can't live it down
Can't live it down
Can't live it down
