When I'm Down

I keep on drinkin' honky tonkin'

I keep the country on the jukebox rockin'

Double fistin'

On a mission

If you don't like it here's my ass you can kiss it

I keep the pedal to the metal on the neon side of town

Cause you only come up when I'm down

 

I'm a fly all night I'm a rocket man

I'm another shot of whiskey with a cold one in my hand I'm the closin' time king I'm the rowdy in the crowd

Cause you only come up when I'm down

 

I hurt my liver to save my heart

I shoot the lights out

So your memory's in the dark

If I can't love you

Then I'll out-buzz you

I'll be the smoke rings risin' up above you

I keep the party train rollin' always goodtime bound

Cause you only come up when I'm down

 

I'm a fly all night I'm a rocket man

I'm another shot of whiskey with a cold one in my hand I'm the closin' time king I'm the rowdy in the crowd

Cause you only come up when I'm down

 

Pour some drinks on it, keep the wings on it

I'm on a heartbroken bender and I can't

 

I'm a fly all night I'm a rocket man

I'm another shot of whiskey with a cold one in my hand I'm the closin' time king I'm the rowdy in the crowd

Cause you only come up when I'm down

Yeah you only come up when I'm down
