One Foot In The GUtter
One Foot In The Gutter
Clark Terry - music
Les Harris, Jr - lyrics
Don’t have no worries, Ain’t nothin’ gonna stand in my way now.
It’s raining but hopes of sunny days still stay.
Don’t call the doctor, 'cause I don’t need to hear no bad news.
I’ll keep swinging and keeping the groove.
They say that all good things must end, but love can always save you.
I’ll keep my head up, one foot is in the gutter that’s true.
Ain’t no use crying or singing the blues.
A lotta growing, gotta keep on moving, gotta keep on going, gotta keep on grooving
got my life to live now, man.
Now I still have time for the merry-go-round. Love’s all around, digging the sounds living in the now. You can never measure pleasure!
One foot’s in the gutter now.
No good to cry. Never give a thought to giving up my other foot is on the sidewalk and I’m gonna get them back together.
Look to the future, all the things I went through now will set me free, thanks to the love of my friends.
Telling all the world that I will make it,
and I’ll meet you all ‘round the bend, you can bet!
Hitting the town, still around.
This is what I want to tell you life is living, never let it get you down. Just keep fighting, and you’ll find the future's bright, and we all should keep on keeping on as C.T. told us all to do, it still rings true!
And I’m here to tell you keep your chin up. Get your foot out of the gutter and live.
Pick yourself up, don’t give up,
And one day, you’ll be out of that gutter.
I get what you’re saying, I do understand.
But just keep going and just keep keeping on and try to stay positive.
You got one foot stuck down in the gutter now. And even if things look bleak keep going.
Fight the good fight.
That’s what it’s gonna take to get out of the gutter, keep the faith, cherish every moment!
Standing your ground, Sticking around,
Beating the odds, despite the struggle,
Just stay strong and keep fighting.
'Cause you never know your fate in life until you get there. Keep on keepin’ on each day,And you will see, just like me, that things can change.
And you’re back up on your feet again. The things that you are feeling now can really get you low-down if you let them in. Stay strong, fight!
And you’ll find the strength within to set you free now,
Then you will be back up on both feet.
And stay out of that gutter, you gotta believe!
