| Playing king of the mountain on a dead end street
|
| At the end of the block is where we cut our teeth
|
| The world was trying to sweep up off our feet
|
| I'd run home crying with cut up knees
|
| "Alright, " Mama said. |
| "It's alright."
|
| Now nothing's and it never will
|
| When you learn to swallow defeat like a bitter pill
|
| Remember the story about Jack 'n' Jill
|
| They ended up driving in a Coupe de Ville
|
| You don't know when your ship will arrive
|
| Don't give up, don't give in
|
| Stand and fight, you just might win
|
| When the ride gets rough
|
| Hold on tight
|
| Someday just might be tonight
|
| You're the kind that goes swimming with a raincoat on
|
| Who's to say if you are right or wrong
|
| Let me know when you figured it out
|
| Just don't go drowning in a shadow of doubt
|
| Don't let the bastards make up your mind
|
| Don't give up, don't give in
|
| Stand and fight, you just might win
|
| When the ride gets rough
|
| Hold on tight
|
| Someday just might be tonight
|
| You may never find a treasure that's been washed up on the beach
|
| Heaven won't be waiting for you walking down these city streets
|
| Remember Mama's Band Aids on your scabby knees
|
| They had to bleed for little victories
|
| Don't give up, don't give in
|
| Stand and fight, you just might win
|
| When the ride gets rough
|
| Hold on tight
|
| Someday just might be tonight
|
| Don't give up, don't give in
|
| You never when the ship will come in
|
| When the ride gets rough
|
| Hold on tight
|
| 'Cause someday just might be tonight |
