My brain's been hammered and my nerves are shot I caught the fever and the shakes won't stop Even the doctors don't know what I got I'm going----- Woke up in the morning, head twisted tight Been out with the nightcrawlers, trying to find my life Damned if I do- damned if I don't One thing for certain little girl, I'm running out of rope Down to the dogs Down to the dogs Woke up in the morning little girl going Down to the dogs Got wrecked on Monday, jacked-up for a week By the time I came up from down under, I could hardly speak I lost my job, my life's a mess I feel like Rocky's bloody hammer's coming down on my chest [Chorus repeat]
