One foot on the mountain
The other one in the stream
All kinds of trouble
And I'm caught in between
I can't change my way of doin'
It's gonna lay like it falls
If I can't go down rockin'
I ain't gonna go down at all
She was a child of acquired money
Had that silver spoon
I knew she had a little wild streak
And needed breathing room
If I can't be your sugar daddy
I won't be your Neanderthal
If I can't go down rockin'
I ain't gonna go down at all
Spent a little time in the congregation
That's how I was raised
Spent a little time in trouble
But I do have my ways
Won't be your Neanderthal
Tonight I had good intentions of crawling into bed
Resting my body and clearing my head
But, just about midnight, I got that telephone call
If I can't go down rockin'
I ain't gonna go down at all
Spent a little time in the congregation
That's how I was raised
Spent a little time in trouble
But I do have my ways
If I can't go down rockin'
I ain't gonna go down at all
If I can't go down rockin'
I ain't gonna go down at
