From Here on Down, It's Uphill All the Way

From Here on Down, It's Uphill All the Way
written by C. Carson Parks II

Lyrics:

Chorus:

Talk about being low down with the blues

I’d need a ladder just to tie my shoes

And as I look around, there’s only one thing left to say:

From Here On Down, It’s Uphill All The Way.

Verse # 1

Well, the fortunes of life blow to and fro

And the waves of love both ebb and they flow

And happiness, they say, will meet you ‘bout half way

Well my half keeps getting longer every day.

(Repeat Chorus)

Verse # 2

Well I used to get excited when I was younger

To see the things life had in store for me.

Well, now I’m at the store and, man, I hunger!

But these empty shelves are ‘bout to get the best of me!

(Repeat Chorus)

Carson's Remarks:

A take off on the old expression from someone who has the blues. I should have saved my pencil lead! Of course, I never heard a good song from anyone else that says "nowhere to go but up."
