Top Shelf, Rock Bottom

TOP SHELF, ROCK BOTTOM
by Vince Herman/Ronnie Bowman/Mike Armistead

Got in a scuffle down in New Orleans
But I landed in a limousine
Hobo a limousine
The luckiest hobo you’d ever seen

Top shelf, rock bottom
Top shelf, rock bottom
Talk about your good times
Lord, I got ‘em
Top shelf, rock bottom

Well I met me a honey down on Bourbon Street
About the prettiest thing you’d ever want to see
Her daddy came home and grabbed me by the seat
Threw me out the window but I landed on my feet

Top shelf, rock bottom
Top shelf, rock bottom
Talk about your good times
Lord, I got ‘em
Top shelf, rock bottom

On a riverboat I was down on my luck
Well I went all in they called my bluff
I pulled an ace right out of my cuff
And said hey there boys ain’t this enough

Top shelf, rock bottom
Top shelf, rock bottom
Talk about your good times
Lord, I got ‘em
Top shelf, rock bottom

Top shelf, rock bottom
Top shelf, rock bottom
Talk about your good times
Lord, I got ‘em
Top shelf, rock bottom
