You tried to lose me in the crowd.
Tried to put me down like a lame horse at the track
But I got some news you might not like to hear,
I’m still around and I now you’re coming back
You hide your heart from everyone.
Saving all the good parts for some goddamn rainy day
But the rain don’t come and there’s no place left to hide.
You’re naked now and there’s hell to pay
CHORUS
There’s nothing out here for you to lose.
There’s no one out here but us broke down, good time fools.
It ain’t easy living but it’s worth the broken bones
I ain’t done with you. I ain’t done with you
You can hit me with your best shot.
Like a ton of bricks man you know I’m gonna hit the ground.
I’ll stagger up I’ll just keep coming back for more.
I ain’t out and I see you’re still around
You’re a damn fool for standing out there freezing.
Come on up now the fire’s burning hot.
I’ll pour some drinks you pour yourself right in that chair.
Take it in ‘cause this is all you got
CHORUS ---
Keep on swinging I’ll keep taking every shot
‘cause I ain’t done with you
