Lee Hazlewood - I've Been Down So Long (It Looks Like Up to Me) lyrics

He walked these tracks and never looked around He bums what he can get in any town He's grown content to live on charity I've been down so long it looks like up to me I make excuses when I read the news On the side of some ole dirty train He's conjures up a taste of fantasy I've been down so long it looks like up to me I've been down so long it looks like up to me Well, I pushed him off the ladder of success That's true But down here on the bottom I get rest He's saved his thoughts to buy a memory I've been down so long it looks like up to me Ahhhh I put my finger in his mind's eye And I've given him a reason now to cry I put his song of life in the wrong key I've been down so long it looks like up to me Yeah, he's been down so long it looks like up to me Poor Lee, I wish you would come up here Lee, you're breaking my heart down there I wish you would tell this story to everybody Listen to him crying down there You keep secrets Poor Lee You've hurt me I'm sorry I'll never forget Haahhhh I'm a poor sport Hahhhh
