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



[Chorus]



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
