AIN'T NO MAN LOOKING GOOD

Ain't no man looking good when he's down on his luck
No gambler looking easy when he ain't got another buck
Ain't no man looking proud with his confidence down
Ain't no soldier looking mighty when he's bleeding on the ground

She took me to heaven then she turned another way
I fell back to Earth again to face a rainy day
But I brought down a hurricane 'cause I don't ever learn
And I fell even further and I know I've got to burn

Ain't no man looking good when he's down on his luck
No man looking good when he's dragged behind a truck
Ain't no man looking good with his fortune turned around
Ain't no king looking good without an apple, a spire and a crown

Somehow I thought I knew that she would always be a friend of mine
Somehow I thought I knew she would never quite leave me behind
And I was done with the lovesick blues and I let it loose to let it go
Never thought I would go so wrong no no

Ain't no fighter lookin' stronger when he's lost another fight
Ain't no preacher lookin' truthful when he's lost the guiding light
Ain't no poor boy lookin' wealthy when he's lost another dime
Ain't no convict lookin' happy when they prove another crime

Ain't no husband looking husband divorcing his second wife
Ain't no doctor looking saviour when he lose another life
Ain't no train will keep on running when running out of steam
Only a dreamer keeps on dreaming when he's lost another dream
