Lyrics

VERSE
We started off in the right direction
Workin’ hard, money comin’ our way
We were a vision of perfection
Nothin’ but beautiful days

VERSE
It was as easy as fallin’ off a log
We were flat puttin’ on the dog
But lately we’ve been lost in a fog
And now we’re livin’ low on the hog

CHORUS
Livin’ low on the hog ain’t no fun at all
Especially, when once we lived so high
I guess we had a long way to fall
And now we’re livin’ low on the hog

SOLO/VERSE
Just because you have some money
Doesn’t mean it always will be true
When you lose it, Lord, it ain’t funny
Yes, it was a foolish thing to do

Repeat CHORUS/BRIDGE
Once you’ve had the higher cuts of meat
The lowdown ones make for a cryin’ shame
I remember that the tenderloin was sweet
Pork bellies not, and there’s only us to blame

SOLO/Repeat CHORUS (2x)/TAG
Yes, I guess we had a long way to fall
When we be done livin’ low on the hog?
