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

Once I lived the life of a millionaire Spent all my money, didn't have any care Took all my friends out for a mighty good time Bought bootleg liquor, champagne and wine Then I began to fall so low Lost all my good friends and nowhere to go If I get my hands on a dollar again I'll hang on to it till that eagle grins 'Cause 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 When you get back up on your feet again Everybody wants to be your long-lost friend I said it's strange, without any doubt Nobody knows you when you're down and out When you finally get back upon your feet again Everybody wants to be your good old long-lost friend Said it's mighty strange Nobody knows you Nobody knows you Nobody knows you when you're down and out
