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
