Down And Out Man Lyrics - Singles - Bachman - Turner Overdrive

Had a widow down in Boston 

You know she really trusted me 

Then I ran away to Cleveland 

From a brand new bride-to-be 

Held a preacher's plate in Memphis 

On a dark cold Sunday night 

By Tuesday was in Alabama 

Showing people how to do it right 

I'm a down and out man 

Guess you wonder why I am 

I'm a down and out man 

Guess you wonder why I am 

Tried to boogie in a honky-tonk 

But my old guitar was out of tune 

That's when they didn't like my music 

So they tried to throw me out the room 

I was living in a funky world 

They were living in three four time 

All my friends are into rock and roll 

Or they ain't no friends of mine 

I'm a down and out man 

Guess you wonder why I am 

I'm a down and out man 

Guess you wonder why I am 

Down and out man 

Guess you wonder why I am 

I'm a down and out man 

Guess you wonder why I am 

I'm a down and out man 

Guess you wonder why I am 

Down and out man 

Guess you wonder why I am 

I'm a down and out man 

Guess you wonder why I am 

I'm a down and out man 

Guess you wonder why I am 

I'm a down and out man
