My Song Videos - 2

If somebody wins, somebody loses.

Winners take it all except for the bruises.

For each one born on the wrong side of the tracks

There’s someone else who won’t be looking back.

Someone’s found a perfect love somewhere; that’s why you can’t find that girl.

Everything’s got to stay in balance. You see, it’s a zero sum world.

It’s a zero sum world.

In the light or in the dark is how we live.

For someone to take, someone else has to give.

Sometimes you’re up when someone else is down.

What goes around comes around.

Someone’s found a perfect love somewhere, etc.

It’s a zero sum world.

Well now, she’s just sixteen, she’s blonde and she’s mean,

She wears her Levis tight and worn.

And where the fenders gleam and the tyres scream

You’ll find the highway pickup queen.

Now she’s stampin’ her feet to the burblin’ beat

Of a Corvette on full song.

And from Highway 60 down to Route 66

Chicago won’t be long.

She thinks Chicago won’t be long.

Save yourself some trouble; she was born under a bad sign.

With her snow expensive habits she’ll very soon be shooting down the main line.

From the New Jersey turnpike to the Arizona freeway

Down to Arkansas in the deep Southland.

With the slam of a door and a V8 roar,

She’s got the noise of a rock and roll band.

Save yourself some trouble; she was born under a bad sign.

With her snow expensive habits she’ll very soon be shooting down the main line.

Well now, she’s just sixteen, she’s blonde and she’s mean,

She wears her Levis tight and worn.

And where the fenders gleam and the tyres scream

You’ll find the highway pickup queen.

I woke up this morning, and in the night I’d turned sixty-five.

‘Don’t understand how it happened, when I feel so young inside.

‘Thought I heard a noise at midnight; must have been my life just whizzing by.

Statins in the morning, Metformin after meals,

Shake me and I’m rattling like a train on square wheels.

But I’m still rockin’ and rollin’, that’s one thing the years can’t steal.

Ramipril for breakfast and aspirin with my tea.

Gotta keep that plaque at bay - that’s what my doctor says to me.

But music keeps my blood going through my half-blocked arteries.

Oh, one day I’ll get to heaven and join the band up in the sky.

I’ll get to play with Jimi and all those other guys.

But in the meantime I’ll keep rockin’ until it’s time to close my eyes.

Now, when I feel those aches and pains I start looking for the signs

That my luck has all run out now and it feels like it’s my time.

And with one foot in the groove I’m in a Zimmer frame of mind.

And when the music finally stops after the last chord progression,

Oh, the angels will unplug me and take my guitar and me to heaven.

They’ll find me by my amp with all the knobs turned to eleven.

I was looking through the window, a strange thing I could see;

A man moved in front of me and dropped down to his knees.

His words were very quiet and I could hardly hear.

But when he looked straight at me I knew my time was near.

At first I could not move, then he took me by the hand.

He led me through my open door to another land.

There I saw a body bleeding by a tree.

When I looked down the ghost I saw was me.

Oh, my father, why do this to me?

I thought you loved me? Was I too blind too see?

I only try to help; I try to set them free.

Now you take my life away for all the world to see.

At first I could not move, then he took me by the hand.

He led me through my open door to a promised land.

And there I saw a body bleeding by a tree.

When I looked down the ghost I saw was me.

At first I could not move, then he took me by the hand.

He led me through my open door to another land.

And there I saw a body bleeding by a tree.

When I looked down the ghost I saw was me.
