Ive been down and Ive been out
I washed up when I thought I would drown
Ive been down and Ive been out
Never flown so high with both feet on the ground
Ive been walking in circles, all my life
Chasing my own tail
Ive got a penny in my pocket but the rest of my change
Is down at the bottom of the well
Ive got my mind made up but what I cant figure out
Is how am I gonna leave my mark
When all Ive got left is doubt
Ive been down and Ive been out
I washed up when I thought I would drown
Ive been down and Ive been out
Never flown so high with both feet on the ground
Ive wasted my time all these years
Just looking for a little bit more
But its hard to keep your shoes clean
When all youve got is dirt on the floor
And Ive hit rock bottom with some good friends of mine
We sat and watched the sun rise but we never saw it shine
Theres a man on the radio says hes got it all worked out
Hes got a show on the road but he dont know
What its all about
Ive been down and Ive been out
I washed up when I thought I would drown
Ive been down and Ive been out
Never flown so high with both feet on the ground
