I'm sitting here a thinking but wasting my time

I know that these old blues has got me down

I've never been a winner I've been a good loser

But lives like mine's what make this world go round

But lives like mine must have the destiny the rest of mine I just don't care to see

Should I be another man with no peace to be found

But lives like mine's what make this world go round

[ piano - guitar ]

I've tried to earn a fortune I've tried to start a home

But there's no gold and love has left me down

So finally I'm knowing there's no way to make the showing

But lives like mine's what make this world go round

Yes lives like mine...
