Words and Music by John Cannon
I’ve been down, yes I’ve been down
I’ve been down and out, I’ve been down and dirty
Been down by the river, been down in the dumps,
I've Been down on my luck, I've been really let down
I’ve been down
I’ve been up. Yes, I’ve been up
I’ve been up and coming, I’ve been up to the task
been up the creek , been up against the wall
I've been up all night, I’ve been all shook up
Oooooooh.. Oh
I’ve been up, I’ve been down, I’ve been lost I’ve been found
With my head in the clouds and my feet on the ground
I’ve been down so low everything was up
Now I’m up so high, I’m afraid to look down.
Oooooooh.. Oh
I’ve been down, yes I’ve been down
I’ve been downtown, I’ve been down on Maggie's farm
Been down to the sea, Hell, I had to batten down
Now I’m so down with it, I can really get down
Yes, I’m down
Still I'm up, yes I am up
I’m on the up and up and I’m up front about it
But it’s been an uphill climb just to catch up
Now I’m up in the ratings, yes it’s time to dress up
Oooooooh.. Oh
I’ve been down, I’ve been up, been looked down upon
I don’t let it get me down and I don’t let up
Though the world pushes down, hard on my shoulders
I could give it up, but instead I get bolder
Oooooooh.. Oh
