It's so good to be back
I want to reminisce a little while
So I had to take my time to do it right
I got all night long, where y'all gotta go?
Alright man, I'm taking it
The slower you do it, the longer it's gon' last
If you start moving too fast, you may get there too fast
You know, we all started from somewhere
You ain't got no passion, ain't got no future
So let's see if you could remember what you were doing
When this song was playing on the radio
Hmm, does that sort of ring a bell?

Once I lived the life of a millionaire
Spending my money, honey you know, I didn't care
Takin' my friend John for a mighty good time
I was drinkin' that good gin, champagne and wine
Just as soon as my money got low
Looked around for my friends and I had no place that I could go
If I'd ever, ever get my hands on a dollar again
I'm gonna hold on 'til the eagle grins
'Cause, I found
Nobody wants you
I wonder do y'all believe that, you see
Nobody gives a damn about you
When they find that you're down and out
Nobody wants you when you're down and out
Nobody wants you
(Down and out)
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
Nobody wants you unless you sign up your home
And they ain't got a damn care
