So many ups and downs

The falls and bruises

Side by side, side by side

We've been through

We sucked up the dust my God

We struggled in the mud

In big cities and small towns

Ups and down, ups and down
G Am C G

G Am
They wrote us off

All the ones who knew best

Said too bad, so long

Dead and gone, dead and gone

Dead and gone

When I was hurting

You didn't fuss too much

Are raining at our door

Let 'em pour, let 'em pour

Let 'em pour, let 'em pour

Let 'em pour, let 'em pour
