When you hit rock bottom
You've got two ways to go
Straight up
And sideways
I have seen my share of hard times
And I'm letting you know
Straight up 
Is my way

Things are tough all over
But I've got good news
When you get down to nothing 
You've got nothing to lose
I was born naked
But I'm glory bound
And a dead end street 
Is just a place to turn around

When the sky is the limit 
Up on easy street
Rock bottom 
Ain't no place to be
Rock bottom 
Ain't no place for me

When the law of the jungle 
Is the law of the land
Good luck
Stayin' alive
I keep a clinched fist under
This hat in my hand
'Cause only the strong survive

Things are tough all over
But I've got good news
When you get down to nothin'
You've got nothin' to lose
Anyway, rock bottom 
Is good solid ground
And a dead end street 
Is just a place to turn around

When the sky is the limit
Up on easy street
Rock bottom 
Ain't no place to be
Rock bottom 
Ain't no place for me
