Hey, here I am I'm feelin' good   Takin' a ride on hot summer night   'Cause on a long, hot, hot summer night   Just don't know why I know what I am      So let 'em keep on runnin'   So let 'em keep on chasin' me      Yes, here I am all heavy legged   Been dancin' on, on a hot summer night   Call me a scrounger, a degenerate bum   Everyday hear it over again      So let 'em keep on runnin'   But let 'em keep on chasin' me      You are down and out   When you're just being yourself   We ain't down and out   Man take a look at yourself      See a summer night sky, I feel like runnin'   I feel like livin' the way I do that's how I am   What I'm doin' is right, it ain't wrong   I'm livin' this way, if livin' is true      So let 'em keep on runnin'   But let 'em keep on chasin' me      You are down and out   When you're just being yourself   We ain't down and out   Man take a look at yourself      You're always sayin', I'm sleepin' all day   A day's too long to sleep it all away   You gotta think it over, over again   My eyes may be closed but I'm livin' within      Let 'em keep on runnin'   So let 'em keep on chasin' me      You are down and out   When you're just being yourself   We ain't down and out   Man take a look at yourself      You are down and out   When you're just being yourself   We ain't down and out   Man take a look at yourself
