Spend some time in the city where I grew up
I got a whole lot of lovin' which one do you want?
Feeling down going up got the whisky in the cup
Think we really know? God I hope so


Gonna live gonna die put your mind in the gutter
Now the city wont sleep and what a bad mother fucker
Feeling down going up got the whisky in the cup
Think I really know? God I hope so


You got me all tied up just to leave me alone
Half the man I was got bought and sold
Feeling down going up got the whiskey in the cup
You think I really know? God I hope so


Two thousand miles to the Golden Gate
They extradited me from the "Show Me" state
Feeling down going up got the whiskey in the cup
You think I really know? God I hope so


And I believe, in everything, feeling alright in spite you know I just can't tell
And I believe, in everything, feeling alright in spite you know I just can't tell


Going right going wrong, and I'm where I belong
Got a whole lot of lovin, hated along
Singing down growing up got the whisky in the cup
Think I really know? Hell I hope so


Times are a changing for the best and the bad
Gotta whole lot of loving, best that I had
Feeling down going up, got the whisky in the cup
Think I really know? God I hope so


And I believe in everything, feeling all right it's fine you know I just can't tell
And I believe in everything, feeling all right it's fine you know I just can't tell
Feeling alright in spite you know I just can't tell
Feeling alright in spite you know I just can't tell
Feeling alright in spite you know I just can't tell
