You can tell how I'm getting on
My girl she ran off with a lesbian
Tax man is investigating me

And I lost my house and the family

How many times do I have to tell you?

Yeah, I'm doing real-real fine
And that wasn't me down at the soup kitchen
Standing in line


Yeah, I'm a man robbed of his dignity
I'm a man robbed of his soul

Yeah, I guess my old daddy was right
I shoulda - stayed away from that rock 'n' roll


Well, my clothes, they may seem a little dirty
And my shoes seen too many years
My Armani suit's down at the cleaners

And yes, I'll take another beer

I used to be a free spirit

The whole world out there was mine
But that's been and gone
It's been gone a long long time


Yeah, I'm a man robbed of his dignity
I'm a man robbed of his soul

Yeah, I guess my old daddy was right
I shoulda - stayed away from that rock 'n' roll
