But let 'em keep on chasin' me
So let 'em keep on runnin'
Everyday hear it over again
We ain't down and out
You gotta think it over, over again
Yes, here I am all heavy legged
You are down and out
When you're just being yourself
When you're just being yourself
You are down and out
You're always sayin', I'm sleepin' all day
You are down and out
What I'm doin' is right, it ain't wrong
So let 'em keep on chasin' me
I feel like livin' the way I do that's how I am
Call me a scrounger, a degenerate bum
Let 'em keep on runnin'
So let 'em keep on runnin'
My eyes may be closed but I'm livin' within
So let 'em keep on chasin' me
A day's too long to sleep it all away
We ain't down and out
See a summer night sky, I feel like runnin'
When you're just being yourself
I'm livin' this way, if livin' is true
Been dancin' on, on a hot summer night
We ain't down and out
But let 'em keep on chasin' me
Man take a look at yourself
Man take a look at yourself
'Cause on a long, hot, hot summer night
Man take a look at yourself
Just don't know why I know what I am
When you're just being yourself
So let 'em keep on runnin'
We ain't down and out
You are down and out
