I've been up, I've been down I've been kicked to the ground And that's nothing new for me Like the dead of the night When everything's all right It's where I wanna be You see, the life I live is the life I choose I follow no one's laws, I follow no one's rules But when it's heads I win and tails you lose It's not the game in which I choose Strollin' in at dawn, wakin' up at noon Is gonna catch up to me soon
But "you can sleep when you're dead" is what I said 'Cause I'm jumpin' off the moon Hold on, bear down, jump in and grin 'Cause I'm comin' back your way Get down, hold tight with all of your might 'Cause I'm comin' back to stay What's next? I think I'll hit the streets What's next? I think I'll have a drink What's next? I think I'll bet my luck Luck's coming back my way
