Nobody Knows You When You’re Down And Out by Tedeschi Trucks Band Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Once I lived the life of a millionaire
Spent all my money, I just did not care
Took all my friends out for a good time
Bought bootleg whiskey, champagne and wine
Then I began to fall so low
Lost all my good friends, I did not have nowhere to go
If I get my hands on a dollar again
I'm gonna hang on to it 'til that eagle grins, yeah

[Chorus]
'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

[Verse 2]
When you finally get back on your feet again
Everybody wants to be your good old long lost friend
Said it's mighty strange, oh, without a doubt
Nobody knows you when you're down and out
[Verse 3]
When you finally get back on your feet again
Evеrybody wants to be your good old long lost friend
Said it's mighty strange, without a doubt
Nobody knows you
No, nobody knows you
No, nobody knows you, yеah
When you're down and out
