Butch Trucks - Nobody Knows You When You're Down and Out Lyrics

Once I lived the life of a millionaire.
Spent all my money, didn't have a care.
Taken all my friends out for a mighty good ride
Taken bootleg whiskey, good old champagne and wine.

Then I began to fall so low, I didn't have a penny,
No place to go.
If I ever get my hands on a dollar again,
Gonna hang on to it till the eagle grins.

Nobody knows you,
When you're down and out.
In you pocket, you ain't got a penny, yah
Oh your friends, don't have any.

Just as you start to get back on your feet again,
Yeah they all come again saying you are my long lost friend.

We so strange sometimes, without a doubt.
Nobody loves you
Nobody wants you
Nobody loves you
Oh, when your down and out,
Oh, one more time
Nobody loves you
Nobody needs you
Nobody wants you, no
When you are down and out
