When you hit rock bottom

You've got two ways to go

Straight up and sideways

I have seen my share of hard times

And I'm letting you know

Straight up is my way

Things are tough all over

But I've got good news

When you get down to nothing

You've got nothing to lose

I was born naked

But I'm glory bound

And a dead end street is just a place to turn around

When the sky is the limit up on easy street

Rock bottom ain't no place to be

Rock bottom ain't no place for me no no

When the law of the jungle is the law of the land

Good luck staying alive

I keep a clenched fist under this hat in my hand

Cause only the strong survive

Things are tough all over

But I've got good news

When you get down to nothing

You've got nothing to lose

Anyway rock bottom is good solid ground

And a dead end street is just a place to turn around

When the sky is the limit up on easy street

Rock bottom ain't no place to be

Rock bottom ain't no place for me no no
