I choose to stay far away from the ones
Who think money is money to share
Don't ask me why and 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
Don't ask him why and he'll tell you no lies
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 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 and I'll tell you no lie
Been looking for love in unsavory places
On the highest of mountains and the lowest of bases
and I still don't know
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 a sea
I took the blood from an arrow
I took the wisdom of spring
and I was the 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
I knew my name, I knew my road
and I stayed away from heavy loads
But still, I'm low, oh lord am I low
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
