Itsalwaysomething Lyrics

I look around me
And I see what I wanted and what I settled for
I've got the heart of a Joan of Arc
But the soul of a gigolo
I've been good at s*****ing defeat
From the jaws of victory
Anytime I stopped to smell the roses
They drew blood from me
Do you know what I mean
You never ever get away clean
Ah, but it's alright
Yeah, touchdown, turn around
Flag on the play

It's always something
You know it is
It's always something
It's always something, everyday
It's always something

When I was a kid
The teachers and the priests said
"Why you let him run around like that?"
My father said, "If the boy wants to play the guitar
I say we let him."
Through the hard years he was my rock
When I just could not win
So it goes ya know my father died
Just before my leaky ship came in
Do you know what I mean
You never ever get away clean
Ah, but it's alright - yeah
Down one, homerun
Your dog steals the ball

It's always something
You know it is
It's always something
It's always something, everyday
It's always something
It's always something
I step up to the table in the middle of my life
And I, I take my cards and I check them twice
I've got a killer hand I'm ready to stake my claim
The cops raid the game

It's always something
It's always something
It's always something, everyday
It's always something

It's always something
You know it is
It's always something
It's always something, everyday
It's always something
