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? br> 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
