[Verse 1]
Micheladas in the afternoon
Lie on the couch in a rented room
Watching Jeopardy without the sound
It's easy to stay down

[Verse 2]
Quick mistakes and long goodbyes
Horrible truths and necessary lies
I caught a train that was backwards-bound
It's easy to stay down

[Chorus]
Stay down
Til your mind has been cleared
And your trail can't be found
Stay down
With your eye to the sky
And your ear to the ground

[Verse 3]
Down by the pool with all my brand-new friends
Rewriting letters that I'll never send
Declining invitations into town
It's easy to stay down
[Verse 4]
Slowly admit that you have had your fun
The girl you loved and every word you sung
All the profane that you thought profound
It's time now to stay down

[Chorus]
Stay down
Til the smoke has been cleared
And your name can't be found
Stay down
With your head in the clouds
And your eyes to the ground

[Verse 5]
Feel the sting of the final blow
What could've been, you don't care or know
Don't try to go another round
Stay down
