I was the toast of the town and he drunk
and he ran it right into the ground
Now he's puttin' on a show
and I get to play the clown
I had the wind in my sails and he took it
Had the world by the tail and he shook it
I reached out for a light line
Oh, I got the short end of the chicken
and he got the golden goose
He's livin' it up and I'm
Just when I got it all together,
it's all about to come around
Everybody's laughing behind my back,
it's sharp with a sad old sound
and I'm tryin' to live it down
I had my ducks in a row when he shot
I had my eggs in a basket when he dropped
I blew him out of the house,
but he was back like a boomerang
Oh, now sometimes you get the honey,
but sometimes all you get is the sting
He's livin' it up and I'm
Oh, just when I got it all together,
it's all about comin' around
And it's Sean with a sad old sound
He's out there living it up
And I'm trying to live it down
and I'm trying to live it down
Just when I got it all together,
it's all about the common ground
I know everybody laughin'
And it's Sean, it's that old Sam
He's out there livin' it up,
and I'm tryin' to live it down
Oh no, he's out there livin' it up
And I'm made up of livin' down
