Eric Clapton "Unplugged" Album
Nobody Knows You When You re Down And Out
(by Jimmie Cox)
Once I lived the life of a millionaire
Spent all my moneyI just did not care.
Took all my friends out for a good time
Bought bootleg whiskychampagne and wine.
Then I began to fall so low
Lost all my good friendsI did not have nowhere to go.
I get my hands on a dollar again
I m gonna hang on to it till that eagle grins.
Cause nononobody knows you
When you re down and out.
In your pocketnot one penny
And as for friendsyou don t have any.
When you finally get back up on your feet again
Everybody wants to be your old long-lost friend.
Said it s mighty strangewithout a doubt
Nobody knows you when you re down and out.
When you finally get back upon your feet again
Everybody wants to be your good old long-lost friend.
Said it s mighty strange
Nobody knows you
Nobody knows you
Nobody knows you when you re down and out.
