Текст песни Livin' It Down (Delbert McClinton) с переводом

My ship came and she sunk it

I was the toast of the town and she drunk it

I had a run of good luck and she ran it right into the ground

And now’s she’s puttin' on a show and

I get to play the clown

I had the wind in my sails and she took it

I had the world by the tail and she shook it

I reached out for a lifeline and she threw me a noose

I got the short end of the chicken and

She got the golden goose

She’s livin' it up, and I’m tryin' to live it down

Just when I got it all together

It’s all about to come unwound

Everbody laughing behind my back, baby

Sure is a sad old sound

She’s out there livin' it up and I’m tryin' to live it down

Oh man I’m having a hard time

I wouldn’t talk to a dog the way that woman talks to me

Sheesh, and money

I ain’t got no more money

She done spent all my money

It’s bad bad business, bad business

I had my ducks in a row and she shot 'em

I had my eggs in a basket and she dropped 'em

I her out of the house but she was back like a boomerang

Sometime you get the honey

Sometime all you get is the sting

She’s livin' it up, and I’m tryin' to live it down

Just when I got it all together

It’s all about to come unwound

Everbody laughing behind my back, baby

Sure is a sad old sound

She’s out there livin' it up and I’m tryin' to live it down

She’s livin' it up, and I may never live it down
