All the Way Down

Out on the street The summer heat Boys playing games Changing their names Pulling tricks Getting their kicks All the way down Let it ride Meeting the stars In funky bars Shiny new cars And back door lies Trying to hike Or any other type of ride All the way down Let it ride Trying everything now Gotta check it out Trying everything now Gotta check it out Hey girl! You want a blow? Why not? I got no where to go Benny the albino Says don't be a whino Try these here flakes They got what it takes To make you a star And change who you are All the way down Let it ride Tell me were you satisfied? Did you mix it? Did you like it? Oh! tell me was it good to you I wanna know did you make enough money? Did you make enough money to go down in style? Or did you find yourself just dying Dying, dying, dying, after a while? Got to get off! Got to get off! I got to, got to, got to, got to, got to get off! Please help me, help me! To git off now, now! Before I freeze, and before I can come up off my knees And lose my key to freedom And I go, all the way down, all the way down --- All the Way Down - Etta James
