[Verse 1]
I'm the poorest old boy that you will ever see
Life keeps bringing me down
Whenever I'm trying living above my means
Life keeps bringing me down

[Chorus]
Yeah, life keeps bringing me down
Blues keep coming around
Hard living's gonna be the death of me
Life keeps bringing me down

[Verse 2]
When the Clouds roll in and the sun won't shine
Life keeps bringing me down
Now my dollar bills ain't worth a dime
Life keeps bringing me down

[Chorus]
Yeah, life keeps bringing me down
Big tears drops hitting the ground
Well, it won't stop raining on this heart of mine
Life keeps bringing me down
Yeah, I hate to wake up when the morning comes
Life keeps bringing me down
But I drank a pot of coffee and I'm on the run
Life keeps bringing me down
Yeah, life keeps bringing me down
The world keeps spinning around
Yeah that old rat race it ain't no fun
Life keeps bringing me down
[Verse 3]
I've got a mountain of debt to crawl out from under
Life keeps bringing me down
But one of these days I'm gonna hit the numbers
Life keeps bringing me down

[Chorus]
Yeah, life keeps bringing me down
I'm all ground down to the bottom of the ground
Yeah, it's been a bummer the whole damn summer
Life keeps bringing me down
Yeah, life keeps bringing me down
