BARRELL BOTTOM BLUES Nov. 7/88 Karl Rigelhof

CHORUS:
I've been down so long
I don't know which way is up
Yeah, yeah
Hey, hey
I've been down so long
I don't know which way is up
Hey, hey
Yeah, yeah
I've hit rock bottom baby
The blues ain't never gonna stop

I thought I had everything I wanted
That was until I met you
Now my life is haunted
By the memory of you
I've climbed that ladder of success
Power, lust, and greed
To find myself in an awful mess
It seems the more you got, the more you need

BRIDGE:
I was on top of the world baby
Until you took control
You stole my heart, my mind, my body, and my soul

CHORUS:
I've been down so long
I don't know which way is up
Hey, hey
Yeah, yeah
I've been down so long
I don't know which way is up
Hey, hey
Yeah, yeah
I'm drowning my sorrow baby
In the bottom of this cup

I was happy when you found me
I thank the lord above
The feeling still astounds me
I fell head over heels in love
And then you went and left me
For some other man
I wish you'd never met me
You ruined all of my plans

BRIDGE

CHORUS:
I've been down so long
I don't know which way is up
Yeah, yeah
Hey, hey
I've been down so long
I don't know which way is up
Hey, hey
Yeah, yeah
Now I'm scrapin' barrel bottom baby
I'm left here holding this empty cup
