Lyrics:

1980
Writer: Joe Allen

My life is not the life you were accustomed to
You’re ashamed of all the common things I say and do
You act as though we never met when I pass you on the street
I was something you could walk on till you got back on your feet

The songs you sing are not the kind of songs that rhyme
Your goals are set much higher than I’ll ever climb
But the gravel road I offered you is where the high road ends
If you’re ever down and out this way again

If you ever need somebody you can walk on
Look me up and you’ll know just where I’ll be
I’ll be right here where you left me and you just might need a friend
If you’re ever down and out this way again

I’ll be right here where you left me and you just might need a friend
If you’re ever down and out this way again
