Lyrics
I'm thinking there's a playbook Some mixed up map to fame classified from view I try my best to get moves like all the rest but I need a clue. Always have to prove myself again Taking what they give me And cutting what I can Like a broken-handled knife You know I’m just a walk on In this game of life You know I’m just a walk on, baby, In this game called my life Oh the silver spooned-people With eyes of dollar signs, don’t they live in a trance? Money-wise I’m paid in full In hard times, I’m paid up in advance See, I don’t own thing I got nothing to repay I divorced myself from that misery Like an evil wretched wife You know I’m just a walk on In the game of life I’m just a walk on In this game of life Solo: Chorus: When I’m not good enough To be a star with playing time they all say I just hit the road grinning Knowing someday they’ll gonna have to write my dossier And critique the damn thing too! Guess I was born an out-of-towner Trying to hitch a ride Avoided like some detour On the highway of life A spectacle, an 18-wheeler that jackknifed You Know I’m just a walk on In the game of life I’m just a walk on In this called my life You Know I'm just a walk on in a game called my life.
