A day late and a dollar short since the day that you were conceived
Well, back off buddy – you're my friend, but your dark cloud's raining on me
You say your a social drinker, well you sure socialize a lot.
It's high time you realize that you're the only problem you've got
So if you're gonna lie about it, lie to somebody else
And if your gonna die about it, die on somebody else
You got nowhere – nowhere to go but down
Nowhere – nowhere to go but down… yeah!
I ain't no preacher, but you now that I'm your friend
Somebody yells "FIRE", you don't look you just jump right in
I've seen you on your d**h bed, looking like a fading light
Five down and four to go – you always could put up a fight
So if you're gonna lie about it, lie to somebody else
And if your gonna die about it, die on somebody else
You got nowhere – nowhere to go but down
Nowhere – nowhere to go but down… yeah!
Nowhere to go to and no place to stay
The bill's overdue and you can't pay
You got nowhere – nowhere to go but down, yeah!
Don't ask me for a handout, I ain't dot it
You had a second chance, but brother you shot it
Every time I see you it's the same excuse
The same sad story for the same abuse
I don't know who you're trying to fool, but buddy it ain't me…
You got nowhere – nowhere to go but down
You got nowhere – nowhere to go but down
Nowhere to go to and no place to stay
The bill's overdue and you can't pay
You got nowhere – nowhere to go but down
Nowhere – nowhere to go but down
Nowhere – you got no, no, nowhere to go but down
