Pushing Back
When push comes to shove
I can get it up
when I run out of steam
I rely on luck
when the luck runs out
I take a bow
and hope for a courteous reach-around...
when the crying is finally over
I still won't run
when the push comes to me
if I'm not dead
I ain't done.
I can get it up
when I run out of steam
I rely on luck
when the luck runs out
I take a bow
and hope for a courteous reach-around...
when the crying is finally over
I still won't run
when the push comes to me
if I'm not dead
I ain't done.
