She says i deserve much better than this
it's getting pretty plain to see
she tells her boss,"here's my butt,
why don't you give it a kiss-
you got all you're gonna get outta me"
twenty years ago with time in a glass
graduation day to pave the way
nothing to show but a life moving too fast
and a fear of almost everything
and a fear of almost everything
But they say get down under these clouds
i was born down under these clouds
so i stand up and sing it out loud
someone's still alive under their shroud
and i don't wanna die
under these clouds
Her momma tried real hard not to pass it along
and so her momma did for that
somewhere, some day,
someone'll sing this song
and how everything good goes back
and it really was a gradual thing
passes easy as a cigarette
you wake up one day wrapped in a ball of string
believing nothing good's happened to you yet
feel like nothing good's happened to you yet
But they say get down under these clouds
i was born down under these clouds
so i stand up and sing it out loud
someone's still alive under their shroud
and i don't wanna die
under these clouds
