It's All Downhill From Here Lyrics - Paul Kelly And The Messengers

Paul Kelly (Mushroom) 

I was born in a crowded taxi 

Daddy scooped me right up off the floor 

And he carried me up the path through the big swinging doors 

I was taught not to speak to strangers 

But strangers always seemed to know my name 

And they bought and sold my pleasure, my disgust and my shame 

Now I've got debts to pay 

I've got scores to settle 

Dreams at break of day 

Long nights in the saddle 

It's all downhill from here 

Everyday brings changes in the mirror 

Every hand that touches me is kind 

When I think of home it sparkles and so brightly shines 

But I've got debts to pay 

I've got scores to settle 

Dreams at break of day 

Long nights in the saddle 

It's all downhill from here
