Itsalwayssomething

I look around me and I see what I wanted and what I settled for

Yeah, I've got the heart of a Joan of Arc but the soul of a gigolo

I've been good at snatching defeat from the jaws of victory

Anytime I stopped to smell the roses they drew blood from me

Do you know what I mean

You never ever get away clean

Oh, but it's alright

Yeah, touchdown, turn around, flag on the play

It's Always Something

You know it is, It's Always Something

It's Always Something, everyday, It's Always Something

When I was a kid the teachers and the priests said,

"Why you let him run around like that?"

My father said, "If the boy wants to play the guitar, I say we let him."

Through the hard years he was my rock

When I just could not win

So it goes y'know my father died

Just before my leaky ship came in

Do you know what I mean

You never ever get away clean

Oh, but it's alright yeah

Down one, homerun, your dog steals the ball

It's Always Something

You know it is, It's Always Something

It's Always Something, everyday, It's Always Something

It's Always Something...

I step up to the table in the middle of my life

And I take my cards and I check them twice

I've got a killer hand and I'm ready to stake my claim

The cops raid the game

It's Always Something

It's Always Something

It's Always Something, everyday, It's Always Something

It's Always Something

You know it is, It's Always Something

It's Always Something, everyday, It's Always Something
