Well it's a strange old game - you learn it slow
One step forward and it's back to go
You're standing on the throttle
You're standing on the breaks
In the groove 'til you make a mistake
E
Sometimes you're the windshield
A
Sometimes you're the bug
E
Sometimes it all comes together baby
D A
Sometimes you're a fool in love
E
Sometimes you're the louisville slugger
A
Sometimes you're the ball
E
Sometimes it all comes together baby
D A
Sometimes you're going to lose it all
E
One day you got the glory
One day you got none
One day you're a diamond
And then you're a stone
Everything can change
In the blink of an eye
So let the good times roll
Before we say goodbye, because
