One foot on the mountain

And the other one in the stream

All kind of trouble

And I'm caught in between



I can't change my way of doin'

It's gonna lay like it falls

'Cause if I can't go down rockin'

Ain't goin' down at all



She was a child of acquired money

Had that silver spoon

I knew she had a little wild streak

Needed breathin' room



I can't be your sugar daddy

I won't be your Neanderthal

'Cause if I can't go down rockin'

Ain't goin' down at all, no, no



Tonight I had good intentions

Of crawling into bed

Resting my body

And clearing out my head



Just about midnight

I got that telephone call

'Cause if I can't go down rockin'

I ain't goin' down at all



I won't be your Neanderthal



If I can't go down rockin'

Ain't goin' down at all
