D
My ship came in and she sunk it,
G
I was the toast of the town and she drunk it,
DG
I had a run of good luck and she ran it right into the ground.
DAD
And now shes putting on shows where I get to play the clown.
I had the wind in my sails and she took it,
I had the world by the tail and she shook it,
I reached out for a life line and she threw me a noose,
I got the money for chicken she got to blow the goose.
CHORUS
GD
Shes living it up and trying to live it down,
EA
Just when I got it all together it all about to come (unplanned)?
GDG
Everybody laughing behind my back ha-ha, sure is a sad old sound
DAD
Shes out there living it up and Im trying to live it down
I had my ducks in a row and she shot them
I had my eggs in a basket she dropped them
I threw her out of the house but she was back like a boomerang
Sometimes you get her honey sometimes all you get is her sting
CHORUS
Shes living it up and trying to live it down,
Just when I got it all together it all about to come unplanned
Everybody laughing behind my back ha-ha, sure is a sad old sound
Shes out there living it up and trying to live it down
Shes living it up and I intend to live it down
