Itsalwayssomething lyrics

Artist  : Rick springfield 
Song : 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
