Bottom line may be down
But out is out, not around
So the blues is still a sound
/
Only down, not out
Just down, I can shout
Only down, not out
Just down, just move about
/
We go out on the town
We “Go Out” after long frowns
Off drugs, booze and being clowns
/
Only down, not out
Just down, I can shout
Only down, not out
Just down, just move about
/
We say we are back on our feet after
Stretches living incomplete and down
But we never meet those really out
/
Only down, not out
Just down, I can shout
Only down, not out
Just down, just move about
/
Remember out is out, never about
Never back to hear a shout, or have a bout
With no struggle left when one is truly out
/
So I say you are
Only down, not out
Just down, you can shout
Only down, not out
Just down, so move about
/
