For many a year I roamed this land
hoping one day to strike gold
but nights followed days and days followed nights
and I'm still standing in the cold
the treasure will come to he who perseveres
at least that's something I was told
but Lady Luck was never on my side
any time the dice were rolled
another night, another town
another dead-end bar
drunken fights under neon lights
as I'm playing my guitar
I set off a long time ago
following a distant star
and here I am a long way from home
sleeping in the back of a car
but there ain't no point in looking back
as the highway flashes by
the sun's coming up on a brand new day
hanging in a clear blue sky
sometimes you win, sometimes you lose
sometimes you fall, sometimes you fly
sometimes you're high, sometimes you're blue
sometimes you laugh, sometimes you cry
