And I found out early on Take your turn and then be gone This is how it’s gonna be Nothing ever comes for free I’ll play the hand that I was dealt Not expecting any help It’s the price we have to pay Just to make it through the day I’m pretty sure I’ve made the same mistake before But I’ve got nothing more to say I’ve got no more debts to pay I owe nobody nothing So do I twist or do I stick Teach an old dog one last trick Leaving no stone left unturned Lessons learned and fingers burned Now there’s no place left to hide God will know that I have tried What will be will surely be Nothing ever comes for free I’m pretty sure I’ve made the same mistake before But I’ve got nothing more to say I’ve got no more debts to pay I owe nobody nothing And tell what do you see When you’re looking straight through me And What do you take When I give you my word Can’t stop the bleedin But I won’t stop belivin Nobody’s nobody Cut your losses boy and run Off into the setting sun Cut your losses boy and run Never was the favourite son As I vaguely now recall Pride comes just before the fall But as the midnight bells now chime Paid my dues and done my time I am pretty sure I’ve made the same mistake before But I’ve got nothing more to say No more debts to pay I owe nobody nothing Cut your losses boy and run Off into the setting sun

I’m out here doing the hard yards Took the knocks, won my spurs and got the scars Learned pretty quick, I’m out here on my own There’s just some things a man must do alone Brought up knowing wrong was never right I knew about the things that they’d been teachin’ Learning now there’s right and then there’s easy Just learning now the things that I believe I’ve been out here on my own Making my own way Out here breaking trail For twelve months and a day Out here on my own A lonely runaway Out here on my own Learning the hard way Out here going nowhere fast Taking one step forward, two steps back And we are learning now just how to make ends meet Learning now the lessons of the street I’ve been out here on my own Making my own way Out here breaking trail For twelve months and a day Out here on my own A lonely runaway Out here on my own Learning the hard way So it’s time to learn your lessons boy Learn ‘em fast And learn them good There is nothing they can teach you Now you’ve finally understood You don’t learn it in a classroom You don’t read it in a book Nothing ever seems to happen Just the way they said it would I’ve been out here on my own Making my own way Out here breaking trail For twelve months and a day Out here on my own A lonely runaway Out here on my own Learning the hard way I’ve been out here on my own Making my own way Out here breaking trail For twelve months and a day Out here on my own A lonely runaway Out here on my own Learning the hard way

Why do I need a reason I long since stopped belivin’ From first to last, we are just passing through Why do I need a reason Some long forgotten feelin’ You know what they say, a man’s just gotta do Why do I need a reason? These cards that life keeps dealing When the darkness falls heavy, just the stars to light the way Why do I need a reason It’s just me that I’m pleasin’ I’m following the line through this last long lonesome day Another town Another day I’ll sing my song I’m on my way As I follow the sun and disappear into the distance I’m following the line of least known resistance There is no tomorrow I’m singing today I’ll keep on singing while there’s something left to say So come hell or high water Those lessons life taught ya My only song, my only friend I’ve been all alone since the day I was born but you were there at the start, you’ll be there at the end

There always seems to be another way Another trail, another hill, another day There always one more rainbow left to chase As one dream slowly drifts away you know another takes its place But I know I’m gonna get there eventually And I know I’ve gotta learn to let it be But right now there’s no place else That I have gotta be So why not here? why not now? why not me? It always seems to be somebody else Who gets the girl, who finds the gold, who draws the ace Seems like I’m always on the outside, the outside looking in Seems like I’m always on the outside looking in But I know I’m gonna get there eventually And I know I’ve gotta learn to let it be But right now there’s no place else That I have gotta be So why not here? why not now? why not me? And when I look into your eyes it seems to me you’ve seen the things I’ve never seen you’ve been to places that I ain’t never been It seems to me that you’ve been living You’ve been living seems to me that you’ve been living my dream I’ve chased rainbows from the mountains to the sea And there always seems to be some place I’d rather be But I am more than just another rock and roll wannabe So why not here? why not now? why not me? Yes I know I’m gonna get there eventually And I know I’ve gotta learn to let it be But right now there’s no place else That I have gotta be So why not here? why not now? why not me? So why not here? why not now? why not me? So why not here? why not now? why not me?
