Down Here Songtext
von Turnpike Troubadours

Hey there, buddy, why the old long face?
Get to lookin′ like you lost the race
Get to lookin' like you didn′t place at all

Well, I heard you've been running with a wilder cast
Playin' hard and livin fast
And for a while you had a blast
You were feeling ten feet tall

You′re gonna be alright, you′ll be fine
You can have a nickel outta my last dime
The moon is bright and you're alright down here

Your intention′s good and well
Pave a little on the road to hell
Flew a little high and fell
You were smiling all the while


Well, you tried so bad just to be good
Hold your cards and you knock on wood
A little harder than anyone should
But hey, that's just your style

You′re gonna be alright, you'll be fine
You can have a nickel outta my last dime
The moon is bright and you′re alright down here

Aw, you shot the moon and you wound up set
Ain't I taught you how to hedge a bet?
Hate to say it, but it's what you get
A right hook to the jaw

We all still think you′re great
I′m gonna have to shoot you straight
You go to fishin' or you cut some bait
Take a hammer to the wall

You′ll be alright, you'll be fine
You can have a nickel outta my last dime
The moon is bright and you′re alright down here

You're gonna be alright, you′ll be fine
You can have a nickel outta my last dime
Don't go wasting too much time down here
