📜 Lyrics
I have been down in Pennsylvania
Where I was working in the mine
And I been down in Cincinnati
They laid me off the assembly line
Yeah, they got me looking everywhere
But I ain't too proud of what I found
And you can't name where I ain't been down
'Cause there ain't no place I ain't been down
I was down in Kansas city
Where even the blues sell by the pound
And I been down in New York City, brother
And that ain't no place to be down
Yeah, I'm a-looking at the face of the children
You see, we're looking for a higher ground
And you can't name where we ain't been down
'Cause there ain't no place we ain't been down
We fell down
We fell down between the cities and the towns
We went down (We went down)
We went down between the smiles and the frowns
And if they call me in the morning
I mean, I'd recognize the sound
'Cause you can't name where we ain't been down, baby
There ain't no place we ain't been down
Ooh, standing in the shadows
It sho'nuff look like rain
And I see the steel-gray clouds above me
Yeah, well the anghuish and the rain
Yeah, I been looking everywhere for peace
But I swear, there just ain't none around
And you can't name where I ain't been down
'Cause there ain't no place I ain't been down
(Down between the cities and towns)
We been down (We been down)
We been down between the cities and the towns
And between the smiles and frowns
We been down (We been down)
Between the smile and the frowns
And if they call me in the morning
I mean, I'd recognize the sound
'Cause you can't name where I ain't been down
There ain't no place I ain't been down
You can't name, you can't name where I ain't been down
Where I was working in the mine
And I been down in Cincinnati
They laid me off the assembly line
Yeah, they got me looking everywhere
But I ain't too proud of what I found
And you can't name where I ain't been down
'Cause there ain't no place I ain't been down
I was down in Kansas city
Where even the blues sell by the pound
And I been down in New York City, brother
And that ain't no place to be down
Yeah, I'm a-looking at the face of the children
You see, we're looking for a higher ground
And you can't name where we ain't been down
'Cause there ain't no place we ain't been down
We fell down
We fell down between the cities and the towns
We went down (We went down)
We went down between the smiles and the frowns
And if they call me in the morning
I mean, I'd recognize the sound
'Cause you can't name where we ain't been down, baby
There ain't no place we ain't been down
Ooh, standing in the shadows
It sho'nuff look like rain
And I see the steel-gray clouds above me
Yeah, well the anghuish and the rain
Yeah, I been looking everywhere for peace
But I swear, there just ain't none around
And you can't name where I ain't been down
'Cause there ain't no place I ain't been down
(Down between the cities and towns)
We been down (We been down)
We been down between the cities and the towns
And between the smiles and frowns
We been down (We been down)
Between the smile and the frowns
And if they call me in the morning
I mean, I'd recognize the sound
'Cause you can't name where I ain't been down
There ain't no place I ain't been down
You can't name, you can't name where I ain't been down
