Gerry Rafferty Lyrics

"Down And Out" lyrics


She met a younger man and went to live in GermanyShe let a good man down, she told him he was historyShe's found a real hard station, she's paid the price for getting freeBut maybe she can make it, maybe she can make it alone.
He moved from town to town and drifted down to MexicoWrote her a tear stained letter, saying ‘Baby please don't go'Sweet dreams and miracles happen, but she still said noShe said I know that you can make itI know that you can make it alone. And he said...
‘Don't move, don't moveDon't mess that groove (baby)Don't move, don't leave me down and out.'
He'd call her up and say ‘My darlin' I feel so alone'She'd say I just can't talk about it -- on the telephoneHe'd say ‘Sweet Jesus -- am I really on my own?'She'd say I know you you can make itI know that you can make it alone. And he said...
‘Don't move, don't moveDon't mess that groove (pretty baby)Don't move, don't leave me down and out.'
She met a younger man and went to live in GermanyShe let a good man down, she told him he was historyShe's found a real hard station, she's paid the price for getting freeBut maybe she can make it, maybe she can make it alone.
Don't move, don't moveDon't mess that groove (baby)Don't move, don't leave me down and out.
Don't move, don't moveDon't mess that groove (little darlin')Don't move, don't leave me down and out.
