My ship came in and she sunk it
I was the toast of the town
and she drunk it
I had to run a good luck,
she ran it right into the ground
Now she put on a show
and I get to play the clown
I had the wind in my sails
and she took it
I had the world by the tail and she shook it
I reached out for a lifeline
and she threw me a noose
I got the chardonnay of the chicken
and she got the golden goose
She's a livin' it up
and I'm tryin' to live it down
Just when I got it all together,
it's all about to come unwound
Everybody's laughing
behind my back,
maybe sure it's a saddled sound
She's out there living it up
and I'm trying to live it down
I had my ducks in a row
and she shot them
I had my eggs in a basket
and she dropped them
I threw her out of the house
and she was back like a
boomerang
Sometimes you get the honey,
sometimes all you get is the spin
She's a -livin' it up
and I'm tryin' to live it down
When I got it all together,
it's all about to come unwound
Everybody's laughin'
behind my back,
baby show is a saddest sound
She's out there livin' it up
and I'm tryin' to live it down
She's out there livin' it up
and I'm tryin' to live it down
Oh
If you out you
