I choose to stay far away from the ones
That think money is money to share
Don't ask me why
I'll tell you no lies

Sonny don't come here no more
He don't drink from this well
He's done with the world and done with the girl
I don't ask him why
He tells me no lies

Those of us who are lost and low
I know how you feel
I know it's not right
But it's real

I don't ask for love
And I don't beg for money
I'm just asking for grace and forgiveness now honey
Don't ask me why
I'll tell you no lies

Looking for answers in unsavory places
On the highest of mountains
And the lowest of bases
And I still don't know why
I still don't know why

Those of us who are lost and low
We know how you feel
We know it's not right
But it's real
But it's real

I took the wind from the sea
I took the blood from an arrow
I took the wisdom of spring
I was thrown and blown and tossed and turned
Until time found its hand and called it an end
Me and time we go way back when I was a child
And I always knew why

And I knew my name
Oh I knew my road
And I stayed away from heavy loads
And still I'm low
Oh Lord am I low

Those of us who are lost and low
I know how you feel
I know it's not right
But it's real
But it's real
