Rossington Collins Band - Sometimes You Can Put It Out lyrics

Sometimes you can put it out, but it just don't do no good Sometimes you get lucky, sometimes you knock on wood But ain't it good to walk out on a limb and find that it holds I plan on climbin' high instead of growing old Sometimes I wake up feelin' I could conquer anything Sometimes I wake up feelin' like I'm hangin' by a string Aw but stretch that tightwire over the city I know that walk is dangerous but the view is so pretty Why should I worry what happens tomorrow You know tomorrow -- it just might not come I'll take my chances on livin' my life today Sometimes you can put it out and it don't do you no good Experience is the teacher, but it's a hell of a way to learn Still you've got to feed the fire and hope you don't get burned Aw, now don't you fool yourself you gotta pay the price You gotta take some chances if you want to bring home the prize Why should I worry what happens tomorrow You know tomorrow -- it just might not come I'll take my chances on livin' my life today Sometimes you can put it out and it don't do you no good Well now I've put my fingers in the pie, just pulled out my thumb But I know how sweet the meat is of that juicy plum Well I'm just the kind that can't help reachin' for the moon If I only get half-way, I guess that's okay too Sometimes you can put it out, but it just don't do no good Sometimes you get lucky, sometimes you knock on wood But ain't it good to walk out on a limb and find that it holds I plan on climbin' high instead of growing old Why should I worry what happens tomorrow You know tomorrow -- it just might not come I'll take my chances on livin' my life today Sometimes you can put it out and it don't do you no good
