Down and Out Lyrics

Artist: Gerry Rafferty
Album: Over My Head

She met a younger man and went to live in Germany
She let a good man down, she told him he was history
Sheâ‚¬â„¢s found a real hard station, sheâ‚¬â„¢s paid the price for getting free
But maybe she can make it, maybe she can make it alone.

He moved from town to town and drifted down to Mexico
Wrote her a tear stained letter, saying â‚¬ËœBaby please donâ‚¬â„¢t goâ‚¬â„¢
Sweet dreams and miracles happen, but she still said no
She said I know that you can make it
I know that you can make it alone. And he said...

â‚¬ËœDonâ‚¬â„¢t move, donâ‚¬â„¢t move
Donâ‚¬â„¢t mess that groove (baby)
Donâ‚¬â„¢t move, donâ‚¬â„¢t leave me down and out.â‚¬â„¢

Heâ‚¬â„¢d call her up and say â‚¬ËœMy darlinâ‚¬â„¢ I feel so aloneâ‚¬â„¢
Sheâ‚¬â„¢d say I just canâ‚¬â„¢t talk about it -- on the telephone
Heâ‚¬â„¢d say â‚¬ËœSweet Jesus -- am I really on my own?â‚¬â„¢
Sheâ‚¬â„¢d say I know you you can make it
I know that you can make it alone. And he said...

â‚¬ËœDonâ‚¬â„¢t move, donâ‚¬â„¢t move
Donâ‚¬â„¢t mess that groove (pretty baby)
Donâ‚¬â„¢t move, donâ‚¬â„¢t leave me down and out.â‚¬â„¢

She met a younger man and went to live in Germany
She let a good man down, she told him he was history
Sheâ‚¬â„¢s found a real hard station, sheâ‚¬â„¢s paid the price for getting free
But maybe she can make it, maybe she can make it alone.

Donâ‚¬â„¢t move, donâ‚¬â„¢t move
Donâ‚¬â„¢t mess that groove (baby)
Donâ‚¬â„¢t move, donâ‚¬â„¢t leave me down and out.

Donâ‚¬â„¢t move, donâ‚¬â„¢t move
Donâ‚¬â„¢t mess that groove (little darlinâ‚¬â„¢)
Donâ‚¬â„¢t move, donâ‚¬â„¢t leave me down and out.
