I’ve Been Down So Long (It Looks Like Up To Me)
A G A
He walks these tracks and never looks around
G A A7
He bums what he can get in any town
D D7 A
He’s grown content to live on charity
G A
I’ve been down so long it looks like up to me
I make excuses when I read his name
On the side of some old dirty train
It conjures up a taste of fantasy
I’ve been down so long it looks like up to me
I’ve been down so long it looks like up to me
Well I pushed him off the ladder of success
But down here on the bottom I get rest
Oh uh he saves his thoughts to buy a memory
I’ve been down so long it looks like up to me
Ohh I put my finger in his mind’s eye
And I’ve given him a reason now to cry
I put his song of life in the wrong key
I’ve been down so long it looks like up to me
