lyrics

Been working hard for as long as you can,
You paid your dues, and now you’re the man.
You’re on the top and you’re looking around,
Hold on tight ‘cause it’s a long way down.

One day you’re master and lord of it all,
Next thing you know, you’re taking the fall.
You landed hard but it don’t hurt for long,
There’s other mountains, you gotta stay strong;
The dream is still alive, so take it all in stride.

Life is good,
It don’t always work like we think it should.
You’re doing better than you thought that you could,
So lighten up a little, knock on wood.

Old man Cupid shot your arrow at last,
It missed your heart and nailed you in the ass.
It bounced right off and it just left a bruise,
Every love song’s got a little bit of blues;
The dream is still alive, so take it all in stride.

Life is good,
It don’t always work like we think it should.
You’re doing better than you thought that you could,
So lighten up a little, knock on wood.

There’s ups and downs, there’s ebb and flow,
Work it out, make it up as you go.
That other mountaintop is looking real fine,
It’s all yours if you just give it time;
The dream is still alive, so take it all in stride.
