Well I'm the poorest old boy that you've ever seen
Life keeps bringing me down
And ever I'm trying living above my means
Life keeps bringing me down
Yeah, life keeps bringing me down
Blues keep coming around
Hard living's gonna be the death of me
Life keeps bringing me down
When the clouds roll in and the sun won't shine
Life keeps bringing me down
Now I'm out by the bills and ain't worth a dime
Life keeps bringing me down
Yeah, life keeps bringing me down
Big tearsdrops hitting the ground
Well, it won't stop raining on this heart of mine
Life keeps bringing me down
Yeah, I hate to wake up when the morning comes
Life keeps bringing me down
But I drank a pot of a coffee and I'm on the run
Life keeps bringing me down
Yeah, life keeps bringing me down
The world keeps spinning around
Yeah, if ain't no racing, ain't no fun
Life keeps bringing me down
I've got a number of death to crawl out from under
Life keeps bringing me down
But one of these days I'm gonna hit the numbers
Life keeps bringing me down
Yeah, life keeps bringing me down
I'll grow cry down to the ground
Yeah, it's been a bummer the whole darn summer
Life keeps bringing me down
Yeah, life keeps bringing me down
