When we ran round the track
She let me steal a base
And sliding in, I thought this is great
We just laid some pipe
But then she turned to say
"You know that I don't want you to stay
So long"
Buddy's fine
Buddy makes his own mistakes
But we'll keep trying
If we start to lose our way
We'll all win some, lose some today
This is now a case
Of who can longer stare
It's back and forth, she wants me to blink
In beggin' for my life
I think I sealed my fate
It's black and blue, and someday you'll break
But I'm gone
Buddy's fine
Buddy makes his own mistakes
But we'll keep trying
If we start to lose our way
We'll all win some, lose some today
