The man who's always lost
|
Keeps his fingers crossed
|
He might get wise or sick and tired
|
And take off
|
|
The man who's always home
|
Feeling so alone
|
Driving back and forth, he's a slave to the work
|
But he's the boss
|
|
Round and round, was it east or west?
|
He took a wrong turn, was it right or was it left?
|
Dreams about the days before
|
When he was poor and happier
|
|
The man who stays out late
|
Every waitress knows his name
|
It's no surprise, they like the tips and so they smile
|
But that's the game
|
|
Why it's hard to say
|
He just can't walk away
|
The man accepts the cost
|
He's cold enough to frost
|
While he waits to feel his sun
|
Wonders aimlessly for fun
|
He's the man who's always lost
|
