Kick Me When I'm Down Lyrics - Tim O'brien

I had to leave her when I done her wrong 

Figured I can come back before too long 

And too soon as I moved out, you started comin' around 

Just like an old friend to kick me when I'm down 

Seems you got the story on the rumor mill 

She had a billionaire uncle, she was in his will 

You were cryin' at the funeral, makin' mournful sounds 

Just like an old friend to kick me when I'm down 

Kick me when I'm down, down level with the ground 

Spread it all around, all over this town 

Everybody I know knows I'm nothin' but a clown 

Ain't it like an old friend to kick me when I'm down? 

I figured that I knew when enough was enough 

I went back to her place, pick up all my stuff 

Well, I was slippin' in the back door, I heard you bouncin' in the bed 

I forgot about my toothbrush and I went for my gun instead 

Then a picture in the paper, invitation in the mail 

I couldn't make the wedding, I couldn't go my bail 

I got your honeymoon postcard, jailer brought it around 

It's just like an old friend, they want to kick me when I'm down 

Kick me when I'm down, down level with the ground 

Spread it all around, all over this town 

Everybody I know knows I'm nothin' but a clown 

Ain't it like an old friend to kick me when I'm down? 

Kick me when I'm down, down level with the ground 

Spread it all around, all over this town 

Everybody I know knows I'm nothin' but a clown 

Ain't it like an old friend to kick me when I'm down? 

Just like an old friend to kick me when I'm down
