Well this is no life, but it's the life that I choose
I guess I'll never be the man in the expensive shoes
Now maybe every fight presents a new way to lose
And I will never walk around in your expensive shoes
But there's a wind that blows
Every time you light up your cigarette
There must be someone looking out for you
But if you don't know how lucky you are
Then maybe you just never will do
Now you continue chasing something that is quicker than you
I guess that everybody does it and heaven knows I do
So maybe every lover has a taste for the blues
Maybe I'll never walk a mile in your expensive shoes
But there's a wind that blows
Every time you light up your cigarette
There must be someone looking out for you
But if you don't know how lucky you are
Then maybe you just never will do
Well this no life but it's the life that I choose
And it's not exactly lucrative but I guess it'll do
So work a little hard and someday you'll get yours
And I sincerely apologise for all the trouble that i've caused
But there's a wind that blows
Every time you light up your cigarette
There must be someone looking out for you
But if you don't know how lucky you are
Then maybe you just never will do
Oh maybe you just never will do
Now maybe you just never will do
