Once I lived the life of a millionaire Spending my money like I just didn't care Taking my friends out for a mighty good time Drinkin' bootleg whiskey, buyin' champagne wine Then I began to fall so low Lost all my good friends, had nowhere to go If I ever get my hands on a dollar bill again Gonna hold on to it till that eagle grins Nobody loves you when you're down and out In your pocket there ain't one penny Ask for friends, you don't have any When you finally get up on your feet again Everybody wanna be your long lost friend Said it's mighty strange what I'm talking about Nobody loves you when you're down and out When you finally get back up on your feet again Everybody wanna be your long lost friend Said it's not a strange lot and there ain't no doubt Nobody loves you Nobody loves you, you, yeah, yeah Nobody loves you when you're down and out
