Eric Clapton - Nobody Knows You When You're Down And Out lyrics

[Verse] 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 I get my hands on a dollar again I'm going to hang on to it until that eagle grins Because no, no, nobody knows you When you're down and out In your pocket, not one penny And as for friends, you don't have any [Chorus][x2] When you finally get back up on your feet again Everybody wants to be your old long-lost friend Said it's mighty strange, without a doubt Nobody knows you when you're down and out
