Arc Text on BOTTOM of arc

Autocad 2019

I need to create some arc text for laser cutting and I cant figure out a solution to put it along the bottom of a circle or arc. I can create arc text for above an arc but not under a design in a lower arc so to speak. In the attached picture, "BACK ALLEY" was created with arc text, but "CRUISERS" had to be created as a straight line of text and I then had to rotate and move them as single letters, it is VERY time consuming, is there actually a way to get this done like the upper arc text or am i screwed?

Thanks.

S.Faris, no, look at my attached picture, I need an arc in the shape of a "smile" , not a "frown"

Finally got it to work, I had to select the "inward to center" option.
