I've got two black eyes, why i can barely drag my feet I done run into the tough guy on the street Was feeling mighty good, just like i thought i should 'til i blew my fuse now, i'm feeling mighty weak No way you could get close to me I'd blasted-off into a blue eternity At the end of the line was a loan took on my time And them interest payments got the best of me And i got sunstroked, i got half-choked By the biggest and the meanest dude around I got half-baked, i got my coals raked I spinned my wheels 'til they almost oh, mеlted down People tеnd to think they knew it all I wasn't any different and took a fall, fall, fall Gone with the wind, i forgot about my friends I forgot to take a drink when mercy called Had a garden full of crops, but then i stopped Started thinkin' on the bottom, not the top And it was pin-ball machines, i was a joker in jeans It was far too late to even call the cops And i got sunstroked, i got half-choked
By the biggest and the meanest dude around I got half-baked, i got my coals raked I spinned my wheels 'til they almost melted down If i've learned anything in life's game And could do it all again a different way I'd hesitate to sign my name on the line I'd throw that line clear 'cross the usa 'cause there's surprises in life Like a sleigh ride on the ice We can never know just what's around the bend And if you've been sunstroked, and had your dreams choked, friends Well you're one of the folks who can better understand That even small oaks laugh at good jokes And the thrill of life is just to go around, hey hey! And if you've been sunstroked, and had your dreams choked Well you're one of the folks who can better understand That even small oaks laugh at good jokes, "ha ha, ha, ha ha, ha!" And the thrill of life is just And the thrill of life is just, just, just To go around Do the best you can though
