Yeah, I've been down
And I've been out
Yeah, I washed up on solid ground
I've been down
And I've been out
I've never flown so high with both feet on the ground

I've been walking in circles all my life
Chasing my own tail
Got a penny in my pocket
But the rest of *my* change is down at the bottom of the well
I've got my mind made up
But what I can't figure out
Is how am I going to leave my mark
When all I got left is doubt

‘Cause I've been down
And I've been out
Yeah, I washed up on solid ground
‘Cause I've been down
And I've been out
I've never flown so high with both feet on the ground

Yeah, I've wasted my time all these years
Looking for a little bit more
But it's hard to keep your new shoes clean
When all you got is dirt on the floor
And I've hit rock bottom with some good friends of mine
Yeah, we sat and watched the sun rise
But we never saw it shine

‘Cause I've been down
And I've been out
Yeah, I washed up on solid ground
Well I've been down
And I've been out
I've never flown so high with both feet on the ground

Well there's a man on the radio
Said he's got it all worked out
He took his show on the road
But he don't know what it's all about

*‘Cause I've been down
And I've been out
Yeah, I washed up on solid ground
Well I've been down
And I've been out
I've never flown so high with both feet on the ground

Well I've been down
And I've been out
Yeah, I washed up on solid ground
Well I've been down
And I've been out
I've never flown so high with both feet on the ground
On the ground
