I sat down to cry
I heard a friend of mine say "My, oh my
What you doin' down there, boy
With your nose stuck on the ground?"Hear me shout, don't count me outWhen the sun goes down
You'll find me sitting in a bar in the dark side of the town
And if you tell me that I drink too much
And that it's going to be the death of meHear me shout, don't count me outHear me shout, don't count me outYou say you know me well
But you've only seen the outside so brother, how can you tell?
I never listen to your advice
'Cause it changes every single dayHear me shout, don't count me outI sat down to cry
I heard a friend of mine say "My, oh my
What you doin' down there, boy
With your nose stuck on the ground?"Hear me shout, don't count me out
