[Verse 1] Tell me , how do you feel? Like you're rolling so fast that you're spinning your wheels? Don't feel too bad, you're not all along We're all trying to get along With everybody else trying to go their way You're bound to get tripped, and what can you say? Just go along until they turn out the lights There's nothing we can do to fight it [Chorus] No man's got it made till he's far beyond the pain And we who must remain go on living just the same [Verse 2] I once knew a man, very talented guy He's sing for the people and people would cry They knew that his song came from deep down inside You could hear it in his voice and see it in his eyes And so he traveled along, touch your heart, then be gone Like a flower, he bloomed till that old hickory wind Called him home [Chorus][x2] [Outro] We who must remain go on laughing just the same
