Lyrics
Well give me some of that medicine
Won't you give me a kiss
Give me just a sign that there's faith
and that there's something better than this
I walked all them city streets
Trying to catch a ride
Looking for redemption
Though it gets lonely sometimes
Chorus:
It's the same old story
You get knocked down and you get up
You can say there's a glimmer of hope
But it feels like you're riding your luck
and it's hard to hold onto
Well I swear I'm going to get out of here
But I don't know when
I'm going to run away some place and learn to speak Spanish
And start over again
I'm going off up the country
I'm going to get out of the cold
I'm going to find myself some bar room
I'm going to play that Rock and Roll
Chorus:
It's the same old story
You get knocked down and you get up
You can say there's a glimmer of hope
But it feels like you're riding your luck
and it's hard to hold onto
Chorus:
It's the same old story
You get knocked down and you get up
You can say there's a glimmer of hope
But it feels like you're riding your luck
and it's hard to hold onto
