about

Don’t Knock Me Down (Baer, Vargas) Carley Baer - baritone uke, vocals / Kate Vargas - resonator, vocals

lyrics

Got me so distracted I can hardly speak
Everything got heavy, now I’m losing sleep
I know you may come easy but you don’t come cheap
And I’ve put my last dollar down

I’ve been scrambling and clambering for every dime
Even though I know it’s quittin’ time
And I don’t want to give another minute of mine
It’s down to the wire now

Don’t knock me down
I feel you pound by pound
Every time you come around
You’re the anchor dragging me down down down
Don’t knock me down

Talking to the clock, can’t give it a rest
And the tick-tick-tock is a weight on my chest
Remember when I said I wouldn’t settle for less
Well here I am, empty-handed

I’ve been wandering in circles 50 years and a day
Getting dizzy with the shit that I wish I could say
And all you have to offer is a new way to slay me
I’ll never understand it

Don’t knock me down
I feel you pound by pound
Every time you come around
You’re the anchor dragging me down down down

Don’t knock me down
I feel you pound by pound
Every time you come around
You’re the anchor dragging me down down down

Don’t knock me down
You’re so heavy, you’re so heavy, you’re so heavy
It’s breaking my heart

Don’t knock me down
You’re so heavy, you’re so heavy, you’re so heavy
It’s breaking my heart

Don’t knock me down
You’re so heavy, you’re so heavy, you’re so heavy
It’s breaking my heart

Don’t knock me down
You’re so heavy, you’re so heavy, you’re so heavy

Don’t knock me down
I feel you pound by pound
Every time you come around
You’re the anchor dragging me down down down

Don’t knock me down
I feel you pound by pound
Every time you come around
You’re the anchor dragging me down down down
Don’t knock me down
