One day when I was on my way to school
I said to myself Boy, this isn't for you
Then I threw my books and picked up my guitar
I played all night and day. I know that some day I'll go far.
I'm going down
And all my life I've been chasing rainbows
And I was always too loud and had fights with my neighbors
I drink too much, but I have magic touch
And only my fists help me in this life.
I'm going down
When I woke up this morning with no breakfast in my bed
I knew my darling was gone and I felt so mad
Now I'm goding downstairs right on the street
To face another day that has no mercy for me.
I'm going down
I go straight to the bar to drink another beer
To put myself together and throw away the fears
�Cause tonight is the night when I'll go around the bars
To find myself a new lady who will take me up to the stars.
