Carpenter Mary-chapin The Bug Lyrics

The Bug Lyrics

(originally by Mark Knopfler)

 

  well it's a strange old game - you learn it slow

    one step forward and it's back to go

    you're standing on the throttle

    you're standing on the breaks

    in the groove 'til you make a mistake

 

    sometimes you're the windshield

    sometimes you're the bug

    sometimes it all comes together baby

    sometimes you're a fool in love

    sometimes you're the louisville slugger

    sometimes you're the ball

    sometimes it all comes together baby

    sometimes you're going to lose it all

 

    you gotta know happy - you gotta know glad

    because you're gonna know lonely

    and you're gonna know bad

    when you're rippin' and a ridin'

    and you're coming on strong

    you start slippin' and slidin'

    and it all goes wrong because

 

    sometimes you're the windshield

    sometimes you're the bug

    sometimes it all comes together baby

    sometimes you're a fool in love

    sometimes you're the louisville slugger baby

    sometimes you're the ball

    sometimes it all comes together baby

    sometimes you're going to lose it all

 

    one day you got the glory

    one day you got none

    one day you're a diamond

    and then you're a stone

    everything can change

    in the blink of an eye

    so let the good times roll

    before we say goodbye, because

 

    sometimes you're the windshield

    sometimes you're the bug

    sometimes it all comes together baby

    sometimes you're a fool in love

    sometimes you're the louisville slugger baby

    sometimes you're the ball

    sometimes it all comes together baby

    sometimes you're going to lose it all
