Liven up, loose the chains

It's hard to lie down in the driving rain

I lost a job I thought I had

My friends say, maybe that ain't so bad

You gotta lose boy, to learn to win

Life's just a game I'll never understand



But the ride is rough

And when you fall, you better get back up

Take the reins by the hand

And learn to fall like a man



My baby called from the south of France

And said, I know what you want buddy

But there ain't no chance

I finally found my pot of gold

And what you hide mine, is yours to hold

Baby darling, I'm just a man

And love's just a game I'll never understand



She said, the ride is rough

And when you fall, you just get back up

Take the reins by the hand

And learn to crawl like a man

Brother if you can

You learn to crawl like a man, yeah

Take the reins like a man

If you can



[ Solo ]



You gotta lose boy, to learn to win

Life's just a game I'll never understand



Well the ride is rough

And when you fall, you just get back up

Take the reins by the hand

And learn to crawl like a man

Brother if you can

Learn to crawl like a man
