End of the night and my money's spent

Gotta hock my clothes to pay my rent

It's a roll of the dice and it's the same ole game

Those crazy snakes done bit me once again



Now i wanna tell you

It's been a long road and a difficult time

My life's been so blue

But i ain't giving up

And i'm ready now to try, try, try



(chorus)



I've seen the time when you could not stop the rain

When nothing changes and every day stays the same

Those bitter grapes have now turned to the sweetest wine

I'm ready for the sun to shine, a new day is dawning



When it gets too tough, comes to push and shove

I swear it was you baby who invented love

It's the same ole rhythm, it's the same ole rhyme

It's the same ole stuff that gets me every time



Now i wanna tell you

It's been a long road and a difficult time

My life without you

Ain't been easy babe

But i'm ready now to fly, fly, fly



(repeat chorus twice)



Get ready, get ready

Everybody get ready
