Once I lived the life of a millionaire
People spending my money, money
Lord and I just didnt care, no Lord
Takin my friends out
Tryin to have a good time
They drank that strong bootleg liquor
And that good old champagne and wine
Well, just as soon as my money got so low
I couldnt find my friends, Lord
And I just didnt have no place to go
But if I ever and if I ever get my hands
On them green dollars again, yeah
Im gonna hold on
Till that big eagle grin, Lord
Im trying to tell yall
That nobody wants you
People, nobody wants you, no
When youre down and out and I know
Because in your pocket, no
There is not one penny
And all of them so-called friends
Im trying to tell yall
That you havent got any
But, yeah and just as soon
As you get back on your feet again, ha
People, Im tryin to tell you
That here they come, tellin you all
Theyre your long lost friend
Oh but Im tryin to tell everybody, Lord
Without a doubt
That nobody wants you
Nobody wants you, no no
Nobody wants you, no
Nobody needs you, nobody wants you
When youre down and out, Lord
And nobody have a good thing about you
And nobody can tell you when to turn
And when to go
Without a doub- ha ha
But when you get back on your feet again
Then everybodys gonna turn back and tell yall
