a saint’s just a sinner
sick of going wrong
down gets up again
a sober man’s a drinker
who found something stronger
down gets up again
(chorus)
you called me a clown
when I broke down
you never did ask what broke me
you said toodleoo
when I turned blue
you never did ask what choked me
but I know down gets up again
down gets up again
I know down gets up again
down gets up again
and I’m down
a sunny day’s rainy
til the blue skies peek
down gets up again
a winner’s just a loser
with a stubborn streak
down gets up again
(chorus)
you told me, Take this sitting down
but today I feel like floating away
miles above your town
true lovers are liars
who found each other
down gets up again
the top is just the bottom
when you flip it over
down gets up again
(chorus)
