Hey, uh, one more for the road, uh
Give me the groove
C E

You're ridin' high in April, shot down in May
C E Am
But I guess I, I gotta change that tune

As sure as this big old world, keeps spinnin' 'round

I've been a puppet, pauper, pirate, poet, pawn and a king

I've been up and down and over and out but I know one thing
D
Every time I feel that I'm gonna fall flat on my face
G
I just pick myself up and get back in the race
C E
That's life, there's no need to deny it

I thought of cuttin out once, but this old heart just ain't gonna buy it
