(Mark Knopfler)
|
Well it's a strange old game you learn it slow
|
One step forward and it's back you go
|
You're standing on the throttle
|
You're standing on the brake
|
In the groove 'til you make a mistake
|
|
Sometimes you're the windshield
|
Sometimes you're the bug
|
Sometimes it all comes together baby
|
Sometimes you're just a fool in love
|
Sometimes you're the Louisville Slugger
|
Sometimes you're the ball
|
Sometimes it all comes together
|
Sometimes you're gonna lose it all
|
|
You gotta know happy - you gotta know glad
|
Because you're gonna know lonely
|
And you're gonna know sad
|
When you're rippin' and you're ridin'
|
And you're coming on strong
|
You start slippin' and slidin'
|
And it all goes wrong because
|
|
Sometimes you're the windshield
|
Sometimes you're the bug
|
Sometimes it all comes together baby
|
Sometimes you're just a fool in love
|
Sometimes you're the Louisville Slugger
|
Sometimes you're the ball
|
Sometimes it all comes together
|
Sometimes you're gonna lose it all
|
|
One day you got the glory and then you got none
|
One day you're a diamond and then you're a stone
|
Everything can change in the blink of an eye
|
So let the good times roll before we say goodbye because
|
|
Sometimes you're the windshield
|
Sometimes you're the bug
|
Sometimes it all comes together baby
|
Sometimes you're just a fool in love
|
Sometimes you're the Louisville Slugger
|
Sometimes you're the ball
|
Sometimes it all comes together
|
Sometimes you're gonna lose it all
|
|
Sometimes you're the windshield
|
Sometimes you're the bug
|
Sometimes it all comes together baby
|
Sometimes you're just a fool in love
|
|
Sometimes you're the windshield
|
Sometimes you're the bug
|
Sometimes it all comes together baby
|
Sometimes you're just a fool in love
