Down Here by Turnpike Troubadours Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Hey there, buddy, why the old long face?
Get to looking like you lost the race
Get to looking like you didn't place
At all
Well I heard you've been running with a wilder cast
Playing hard and living fast
And for a while you had a blast
You were feeling ten feet tall

[Chorus]
You're gonna be all right
You'll be fine
You can have a nickel outta my last dime
The moon is bright and you're all right
Down here

[Verse 2]
Your intentions 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
[Chorus]
You're gonna be all right
You'll be fine
You can have a nickel outta my last dime
The moon is bright and you're all right
Down here

[Verse 3]
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 fishing or you cut some bait
Take a hammer to the wall

[Chorus]
You'll be all right
You'll be fine
You can have a nickel outta my last dime
The moon is bright and you're all right
Down here

You're gonna be all right
You'll be fine
You can have a nickel outta my last dime
Don't go wasting too much time
Down here
