Lyrics

Low man on the totem pole
And I got nowhere's else to go
Reckon I'll just stay right here

I just found out I lost again
Done lost so much, it should be a sin
Reckon I'll open me another beer

But that's just the way it goes
All day, every day; open to close

Low man on the totem pole
Ain't got a damn thing to show
Reckon why I still try year after year

Ain't gained no ground in love or life
Make my rounds in sorrow and strife
Reckon I'll drink away these fears

But that's just the way it goes
All day, every day; open to close

Low man on the totem pole
If you need me, you know where to go
Reckon I'm stuck up'n under here

Can't save my soul or heart
I been lost since before the start
Reckon I done reckoned my fate near

But that's just the way it goes
All day, every day; open to close
