Lyrics of Nobody knows you when you're down and out

(by jimmie cox)
Eric clapton - nobody knows you when you're down and out
Album: unplugged

Once i lived a life of a millionaire,
Spent all my money, didn't have any cares.
Took all my friends out for a mighty good time.
Bought bootleg liquor champagne and wine.

Then i began to fall so low,
Lost all my good friends, had nowhere to go.
If i get my hands on a dollar again,
I'll hang on to it 'til that old eagle grins.

'cause no, no, nobody knows you
When you're down and out.
In your pocket, not one penny,
And as for friends, you don't have any.

When you get back on your feet again,
Everybody wants to be your long lost friend.
I said it straight without any doubt,
Nobody knows you when you're down and out.

'cause nobody knows you, when you're down and out.
In your pocket not one penny,
And as for friends you don't have any.
When you get back on your feet again.
Everybody wants to be your long lost friend.
I said it straigt without any doubt,
Nobody knows you,
Nobody knows you,
Nobody knows you when you're down and out.
