Lyrics Down Again - Tony Joe White

Down again
Can't find no solid ground
I'm moving in quicksand
I keep taking the long way 'round
One day I'm standing in the sunshine
And the next day oh, I'm shivering in the rain
Watching my life from the side-lines
And it's a one-sided game

Down again
Living in the bottom land
Out on a limb oh, it's getting out of hand
Sometimes I'm flying with the eagles
And then I start losing altitude
I look around and there's no place to land
I can't find no solitude
Down again

(Instrumental)

Down again
My fire is burning low
I'm at the crossroads
Got to find a better way to go
My life's been going around in circles
Putting the heat on lady luck
But I keep reaching out for something
Got to keep my optimism up
Down again.
