I've been stuck in this dirt hole for days
Been sucked into your cloudy haze
Reflecting back upon the very life that I've been given
Had bottles broken on my face
Cried out in shame and pure disgrace
But all the while I watched and waited silently and driven
You can try to drag me down
But my friend you'll never get me any lower to the ground
You can try to drag me down
But in the end my friend you'll never get me lower to the ground
I've been sabotaged by lover's lies
Been stabbed by jealous husband's knives
My foolishness from other lives has surely been forgiven
I've had higher highs and lower lows
Than most of you will ever know
But by and by I wouldn't change a thing that I've been given
You can try to drag me down
But my friend you'll never get me any lower to the ground
You can try to drag me down
But in the end my friend you'll never get me lower to the ground
Watch me as I crawl to the place that I've been looking for
All these words I scrawl on the page just fall to the floor
You can try to drag me down
But my friend you'll never get me any lower to the ground
You can try to drag me down
But in the end my friend you'll never get me lower
No in the end my friend you'll never get me lower to the ground
