Liven up, loose the chains
It's hard to lie down in the driving rain
I lost a job I thought I had
My friends say maybe that ain't so bad
You gotta lose boy to learn to win
Life's just a game I'll never understand

But the ride is rough
And you fall, you better get back up
Take the reins by the hand
And learn to fall like a man

My baby called from the south of france
Said I know what you want buddy
But there ain't no chance
I finally found my pot of gold
And what you hide man, is yours to hold
Well baby darlin, I'm just a man
And love's just a game I'll never understand

She said, the ride is rough
And when you fall, you better get back up
Take the reins by the hand
And learn to crawl like a man
Brother if you can
You learn to crawl like a man
