When I was married, with two children at home, there were mornings I would wake up in a good mood and even though I had done nothing, everyone was taking their frustration out on me.

Lyrics
DOWN ON ME by Linda Storey
Chorus
Every, everybody, everybody I know.
Every, everybody, everybody I know.
They're comin, they're comin, they're coming down on me.
Oh I try to live right, I try to think right
I try to listen to my Lord.
I try to think right and be right
and make you feel all right, aw but they're
comin, they're comin, they're coming down on me.
Chorus
Some make you uptight, some keep you up nights
some will cut you to the floor.
Some will confuse you, amuse you
use you then out the door, oh yeah they're
comin, they're comin, they're coming down on me.
Bridge
I'm backing off, trying to turnaround.
Can't get close they'll nail me to the ground.
ow hoo hoo
they're comin, they're comin, they're coming down on me
Solos
Chorus
It's a new morning, people are smiling
they want to be my friend.
It's not so bad now, life's full of changes
that will turn you around and around.
So get ready, get ready for that crazy, wonderful whirlwind called life.
