Well I've got a lot, lord, |
|
I've got a lot of losing, |
|
friends and heroes packing up and moving, |
|
One of these days I'll be left with nothing |
|
but memories and old time |
|
So I better get accustomed, |
|
cause I've got a lot, lord, |
|
I got a lot of losing by and by... |
|
We never got paid but we had a lot of laughs, |
|
Running like thieves through the streets of Chicago |
|
Look at me I'm leaning out apartment windows |
|
singing 'I still miss someone' |
|
And I better get accustomed, cause I've got a lot, |
|
lord, I got a lot of losing by and by... |
|
lord, I got a lot of losing by and by... |
|
Picking up speed, picking up the pieces, |
|
Losing leaves in every season, |
|
But the winter ends right at my feet |
|
with flowers peeping up |
|
through a crack in the concrete |
|
