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'  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
