Down and Out

I've been walking the wild side of these mean streets
Trying to leave my mark
Cut to the chase they said I'd never make it
Son "Don't even try to start"

Well I ignored all the words they said
Figured I'm old enough to make my own bed
Now I'm not alone and look at the price I paid

Chorus
For walking the mean streets
I'm still standing tall
I'm still walking these mean streets
And your never gonna see me fall (AT ALL!)

Well I've been down and out damn near broke
Just trying to cut my own path
Take it the limit come on make or break me
Cuz ya know I'm gonna last

Well I cut to the chase
Tomorrow is just another day
Take a look this is what I have to say (to chorus)

Well I ignored all the words they said
Figured I'm old enough to make my own bed
Now I'm not alone and look at the price I paid

Well I've been down and out damn near broke
Just trying to cut my own path
Take it the limit come on make or break me
Cuz ya know I'm gonna last (to chorus)
