Lyrics

When you hit rock bottom, you've got two ways to go
Straight up and sideways
I have seen my share of hard times and I'm lettin' you know
Straight up is my way
Things are tough all over, but I've got good news
When you get down to nothin', you've got nothin' to lose
I was born naked, but I'm glory bound
And a dead-end street is just a place to turn around
When the sky is the limit up on easy street
Rock bottom ain't no place to be
Rock bottom ain't no place for me, no, no
No, no
When the law of the jungle is the law of the land
Good luck stayin' alive
I keep a clenched fist under this hat in my hand
'Cause only the strong survive
Things are tough all over, but I've got good news
When you get down to nothin', you've got nothin' to lose
And when rock bottom is good, solid ground
And a dead-end street is just a place to turn around
When the sky is the limit up on easy street
Rock bottom ain't no place to be
Rock bottom ain't no place for me, no, no
