Down Like Me

Down Like Me - Ken Stringfellow

At last I understand the consequences of my love

But how could there be a heaven

When they kicked you out

Cuz you kicked out your chair from above

Everybody loves to stick with a winner

But you showed me

The line between victory and dying

Couldn't get much thinner cuz you

You found out how to get down

Down Like Me

When my self pity

Became less than full time work

I meditated on the methods and the means

And whether or not it would hurt

Then I got the call they found you

Swinging out over the earth

So over me you win again

In finishes forms

In finals and in firsts

You finally had to get down

Down Like Me

By the time you read this

I will no longer be here

I had to read these words

To all your family friends

Everybody you never held dear

We'll keep an empty place at dinner forever

And I'll maintain and empty chair

So you can set in

And we'll never grow old together

You showed em how to get down

Down Like

Down Like

Down Like

Down Like

Down Like

Down Like me
