So I'm down and so I'm out 
 And so are many others 
 So I feel like tryin' to hide 
 My head 'neath these covers 
 Life is like the seasons 
 After winter comes the spring 
 So I'll keep the smile awhile 
 And see what tomorrow brings 
    I've been told and I believe 
 Life is meant for livin' 
 And even when my chips are low 
 There's still some left for givin' 
 I've been many places 
 Maybe not as far as you 
 So I think I'll stay awhile 
 See if some dreams come true   
 There isn't much that I have learned 
 On my foolish years 
 Except that life keeps runnin' in cycles 
 First there's laughter, then those tears 
 But I keep my head up high 
 Although I'm kinda tired 
 My gal just up and left last week 
 Friday I got fired 
 You know it's almost funny 
 But things can't get worse than now 
 So I'll keep on tryin' to sing 
 Please, just don't ask me how
