[Verse 1]

I'm the poorest old boy that you will ever see

Life keeps bringing me down

Whenever I'm trying living above my means

Life keeps bringing me down


[Chorus]

Yeah, life keeps bringing me down

Blues keep coming around

Hard living's gonna be the death of me

Life keeps bringing me down


[Verse 2]

When the Clouds roll in and the sun won't shine

Life keeps bringing me down

Now my dollar bills ain't worth a dime

Life keeps bringing me down


[Chorus]

Yeah, life keeps bringing me down

Big tears drops hitting the ground

Well, it won't stop raining on this heart of mine

Life keeps bringing me down

Yeah, I hate to wake up when the morning comes

Life keeps bringing me down

But I drank a pot of coffee and I'm on the run

Life keeps bringing me down

Yeah, life keeps bringing me down

The world keeps spinning around

Yeah that old rat race it ain't no fun

Life keeps bringing me down


[Verse 3]

I've got a mountain of debt to crawl out from under

Life keeps bringing me down

But one of these days I'm gonna hit the numbers

Life keeps bringing me down


[Chorus]

Yeah, life keeps bringing me down

I'm all ground down to the bottom of the ground

Yeah, it's been a bummer the whole damn summer

Life keeps bringing me down

Yeah, life keeps bringing me down
