Nobody Calls You When You’re Down Lyrics

I used to ride in Cadillacs
Dressed in tailor made style
Had silver in my pocket
Gold watch all the while
Every bar I walked in
They all knew my name
Now the lights burn colder
And nothing feels the same

Yeah I fell down hard
Hit the dirt real slow
All them smiling faces
Ain't around no more
If I ever see a dollar shine again
Gonna hold it close, Lord
Like my only friend

Nobody calls you
When you're down and dry
Ain't got a nickel
Don't even ask why
But you rise back up
Stand tall somehow
Same folks come running
Say they knew you all along now

Gave my last dime
To a man in need
He disappeared
Like a thief with speed
Now I walk these streets
And keep my eyes wide
Pain taught me more than money
Ever could provide

Nobody calls you
When you're down and dry
Empty your pockets
Watch them all pass by
But you rise back up
Stand tall somehow
Same folks come running
Say they knew you all along now
