goin' down hill John Anderson with lyrics

It all started at a corner table
Sippin, on a Jack and Coke
When the sun found us the next morning
We were actin' like married folk
The weekend, weakened me
And drained me of my will, you got me
Goin' down hill, you got me goin' down hill
And still I can't get my fill of you
I've spent all my money
I've lost my respect
You got me walkin in circles, honey
I'm a nervous wreck
I stay just one step
Ahead of a welfare dollar bill, you got me
Goin' down hill, I'm goin' down hill
And still I can't get my fill of you
And I was voted most likely back in 79
I was headed right to the top
Honey, all I needed was time
But you put some lovin on me baby
That was so unreal, you got me
Goin' down hill, .. goin' down hill
And still I can't get my fill of you
I can't eat, I can't sleep, I think about you
From daylight to dawn
I bet I won't weigh 15 pounds
When they drag my body home
and like a junkie hooked on dope
I'm hooked on your thrill
Goin' down hill, you got me goin' down hill
And still I can't get my fill of you

I heard this song on my home town radio station when I was 11yrs old back, in 85. Black kid singing this middle school. I will always love country music.👍👍

I remember swiping this song off Jamaican radio via cassette tape at age 16 back in 1982. I listened to it daily, but listening to it again, some 32 years on, I'm now even more amazed at how crafty and talented songwriters were up to that era!

Anderson, when he sang this on Hee Haw, always said, "Fourteen" instead of "Fifteen". He has a VERY distinctive drawl, doesn't he?

1985!! sitting at the club bar way down south, deeper than the deep south, the golden plate at the bar read "colorado used to sit here" and this song walking around my head. Sweet memories

Is this song about a woman or alcoholism? They seem to be close

[@art782]

Could be a combination of both
