I've Been Down - Bonnie Somerville

Blew my last twenty dollars on an Oiler's football game. I only lost by half a point, nothing ever goes my way. Reaganomics and plastic people makin' good luck hard to find. All this stuff that's goin' down, really got me down this time I've been down But not this far before Been kicked 'round But never out the door, I've been down But not like this before Well the preacher man's a talkin on the TV He's beggin for my only dime, I'd take another shot of whiskey If I thought it'd get him of my mind. I've been down But not this far before. Been kicked 'round But never out the door, I've been down But not like this before. [Saxaphone plays] I had to find a way to get some money Never thought I'd go this far But It would mean living out on the streets So I robbed a liquor store with my daddy's army gun. Had to shoot a cop coming out the door, And now God I'm on the run I've been down But not this far before. Been kicked 'round But never out the door, I've been down But not like this before. Never this far before Knock, Knock, Knockin on the door.

I've been running around town Feeling up and down Taped up the windows at the house But I ain't dead yet Would you even pick me out in the crowd? 'Cause I can't recognize myself now And I'm turning away Help, can you pull me out? I've been down I've been down You say there's no stupid questions Only stupid people Well I've been feeling pretty foolish Trying to get myself through this And I've been watching too much TV Looking up at the ceiling It's been making me feel creepy I'm just trying to shake this feeling I've been down I've been down I've been down (Come on, come on, come on, come on, come on, baby) Can you help me out? (Come on, come on, come on, come on help me out) I'm waking up at night, TikTok, killin' time A little moonlight coming through the blinds The love of my life sleeping by my side But I'm still down I think that we need to come together I think that we need to come together (you know I'm down) I think that we need to come together I think that we need to come together (you know I'm down) I've been down I've been down I've been down Can you help me out? I 've been down (Come on, come on, come on, come on, come on baby) I've been down (Come on, come on, come on, come on, come on, honey) I've been down (Come on, come on, come on, come on, come on baby) Can you help me out? (Come on, come on, come on, come on, come on, honey)

I've been I've been waiting for a long time (Long time) I've been putting work man this a hard grind (Hard grind) I'm trying to go fast in this life in this fight now I transformed yea I feel like I'm going Prime I've been I've been waiting for a long time (Long time) I've been filling holes man this a hard find (Hard find) Looking to the past just to find in my mind That the source is the force which is going to shine yea I've been I've been waiting for a long time (Long time) Where's the love in a world that don't have time No goodbyes it's see ya laters for haters I want to see everyone around for a lifetime Ugh And I can't keep the fam waiting They counting on me to live right so we can make it So I keep my eyes blurred for whoever hating Love is just part of human emotion It's just in the motion When used right it's an honored devotion It's like surfing the ocean This life we don't deserve it He did it cause he love us yea that is for certain And I know I will never be perfect But I know with Gods love things always come together perfectly working Yea Perfectly working Things always come together perfectly workin Haha Working so perfect I've been I've been waiting for a long time(Long time) I've been putting work man this a hard grind(hard grind) I'm trying to go fast in this life in this fight now I transformed yea I feel like I'm going Prime I've been I've been waiting for a long time (Long time) I've been filling holes man this a hard find (Hard find) Lookin' to the past just to find in my mind That the source is the force which is going to shine I've been I've been waiting for a long time (Long time) Decisive decisions don't matter on cloud nine (Cloud nine) Irreplaceable missions is what you wishing With feelings of protecting my own lifeline Yea Love keeps your heart beating even when it's tired Love shows your character Helps pursue your desires Yea you better hold it tight with a pair of pliers Before it's out the window like a pack fliers Everything we do is for acceptance and love Rententless love is from above Where you fly high with birds or the doves Passion and love use to be the hottest buzz It's rare to find someone who could get it out the mud Designed to fall in love, it could hit you like a flood So when it comes to love remember this goal Every king needs a queen to love his soul So I pray to find my queen that makes me whole Love What we What we got if we don't got (Love) What we doing if we don't got Ay How we living if we we don't got love love love (Loooovvvveeee) Ay What we got if we don't got (Love) What we doing if we don't got (Love) How we living if we we don't got love love love (Loooovvvveeee) This life is crazy man Got to keep your loved ones close And your enemies closer Cause they need love the most

I've been dazed My pride is gone My mistake Guess I'll move on London days It's cold outside Lost my way You know I've tried Won't you carry on? Won't you carry on? Help me carry on Won't you carry on? The Lord said to me (The Lord said to me) Time is a healer (Time is a healer) Love is the answer (Love is the answer) I'm on my way (I'm on my way) The Lord said to me (The Lord said to me) Time is a healer (Time is a healer) Truth is the answer (Truth is the answer) I'm on the way (I'm on the way) Lost my way You know I've tried The Lord said to me Help me carry on Won't you carry on? (The Lord said to me, the Lord said to me) Oh Won't you carry on? Oh, won't you carry on? Now I can carry on I need peace of mind Help me carry on, on I need peace of mind Help me carry on

Well, the rain keeps on coming down It feels like a flood in my head And that road keeps on calling me Screaming to everything lying ahead And it's a winding road I've been walking for a long time I still don't know Where it goes And it's a long way home I've been searching for a long time I still have hope I'm gonna find my way home And I can see a little house On top of the hill And I can smell the ocean The salt in the air And I can see you You're standing there And you're washing your car And I can see California sun in your hair And its a winding road I've been walking for a long time Still don't know Where it goes And it's a long way home I've been searching for a long time Still have hope I'm gonna find my way home All these dreams took me so far And I felt I just couldn't go on And I want to hang Out the window of your car And see just how good this baby can run 'Cause it's a winding road I've been walking for a long time And I still don't know Where it goes And it's a long way home I've been searching for a long time Still have hope We're gonna find our way home It's a winding road Still have hope One day we'll find our way home It's a long way home I've been searching for a long time Still have hope We're gonna find our way home It's a long way home It's a long way home
