(originally by Mark Knopfler)



well it's a strange old game - you learn it slow

one step forward and it's back to go

you're standing on the throttle

you're standing on the breaks

in the groove 'til you make a mistake



sometimes you're the windshield

sometimes you're the bug

sometimes it all comes together baby

sometimes you're a fool in love

sometimes you're the louisville slugger

sometimes you're the ball

sometimes it all comes together baby

sometimes you're going to lose it all



you gotta know happy - you gotta know glad

because you're gonna know lonely

and you're gonna know bad

when you're rippin' and a ridin'

and you're coming on strong

you start slippin' and slidin'

and it all goes wrong because



sometimes you're the windshield

sometimes you're the bug

sometimes it all comes together baby

sometimes you're a fool in love

sometimes you're the louisville slugger baby

sometimes you're the ball

sometimes it all comes together baby

sometimes you're going to lose it all



one day you got the glory

one day you got none

one day you're a diamond

and then you're a stone

everything can change

in the blink of an eye

so let the good times roll

before we say goodbye, because



sometimes you're the windshield

sometimes you're the bug

sometimes it all comes together baby

sometimes you're a fool in love

sometimes you're the louisville slugger baby

sometimes you're the ball

sometimes it all comes together baby

sometimes you're going to lose it all
