Lyrics
Dark clouds hanging over my head
Sometimes, don't pay to get out of bed
The city can deal you a mean hand, yes it can
Make you feel like less than a man
I can get along without doing wrong
I'm tired of singing this same old song
I've Been Down Too Long
Down Too Long
Down Too Long, Too Long Too Long, Too Long
I've Been Down Too Long
Sunshine brighten up my day
Good times, they're coming my way
Got to get a little loose change to put myself on my feet
Take a new direction, walk down a brand new street
I'm looking for a chance to do a new dance
I'm looking for a friend and a little romance
I've Been Down Too Long
Down Too Long
Down Too Long, Too Long Too Long, Too Long
I've Been Down Too Long
Maybe I'm just a dreamer, but I know just where I wanna be
Somewhere life is much sweeter
And I can hear it
I can hear it
I can hear it calling me
Sunshine, blue sky
In my minds eye
(Spoken)
