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
