And I went down to the corner to the nickel and dime
To try to get a bargain on the rest of my life
Down to the alley to the scene of the crime
Down to the prison to do a little time
And I went down
And I went down
Down to the schoolyard to see children play
Envisioned myself there just like it were yesterday
Down to the tavern to drown in my pain
Staggered back to hell by way of Memory Lane
And I went down
And I went down
Down to the river to watch water drain
Flowing into nowhere the level still remained
Down to my guru to have all this explained
Got there all I found was a man gone insane
So I went down to the chapel to hear myself pray
I'll stand on the fifth come the Judgement Day
I don't know why it is that I feel so afraid
As I stand all alone in the cold pouring rain
And I went down
And I went down
Down to the station to point fingers of blame
Strange how one second makes a life's work in vain
Down to the laundry to remove all the stains
Blemishes are gone the image remains
And I went down
And I went down
Down to the lynching to see a man die
Funny killing one for taking another's life
Laughed, then I sighed, and then I started to cry
At the end of his rope lie a noose I helped tie
So I went down to the chapel to hear myself pray
I'll stand on the fifth come the Judgement Day
I don't know why it is that I feel so afraid
As I stand all alone in the cold pouring rain
And I went down
And I went down to the corner to the nickel and dime
To try to get a bargain on the rest of my life
Down to the alley to the scene of the crime
Down to the grave where sweet innocence lies
Down to the chapel to hear myself pray
I'll stand on the fifth come the Judgement Day
And I don't know why it is that I feel so afraid
As I stand all alone in the cold pouring rain
And I Went Down
