Livin' It Down

[D]My ship came in and she sunk it,
[G]I was the toast of the town and she drunk it,
[D]I had a run of good luck and she ran it right into the ground.  [G]
[D]And now she’s putting on shows where I g[A]et to play the clown.           [D]

I had the wind in my sails and she took it,
I had the world by the tail and she shook it,
I reached out for a life line and she threw me a noose,
I got the money for chicken she got to blow the goose.

[G]She’s living it up and trying to live it down,  [D]
Just when I got it all together it all a[E]bout to come (un[A]planned)?
[G]Everybody laughing behind my back ha-ha,[D] sure is a sad old sound[G]
[D]She’s out there living it up and[A] I’m trying to live it d[D]own

I had my ducks in a row and she shot them
I had my eggs in a basket she dropped them
I threw her out of the house but she was back like a boomerang
Sometimes you get her honey sometimes all you get is her sting

She’s living it up and trying to live it down,
Just when I got it all together it all about to come unplanned
Everybody laughing behind my back ha-ha, sure is a sad old sound
She’s out there living it up and trying to live it down

She’s living it up and I intend to live it down
