Break out your bottle, be in trouble by noon Never get satisfaction cause ya boil too soon Them downtown chippies know your weight to the ounce But the harder you fall, Jack, the higher you bounce! Stoke up your get, be ready to ride Keep your head and your heart inside Take it as far as you wanna go Until we can't see the desert for the burning snow But if you're in a hurry, I really go to go, If you're in a hurry, might have to find out slow That it's one thing to try, another to fly, You get there quicker just a step at a time, It's one thing to bark and another to bite, The show ain't over til ya pack up at night. Ah well, ninety-nine people all running around Not one in a hundred got his feet on the ground, In fact one in a thousand holding some in reserve For when the real, true action comes around the curve. Take care of your people, get some of them fed Hide the ones in trouble out under your bed Keep an eye to the future, an ear to the past Cause after thinkin' it over, know there's nothing much lasts. So if you're in a hurry, I really go to go, If you're in a hurry, might have to find out slow That it's one thing to try, another to fly, You get there quicker just a step at a time, It's one thing to bark quite another to bite, Ain't none of it over til ya pack up at night. Don't ever let it get the best of you Plan what you can, let the rest shine through Just so many angles you can possibly see Got to figure on those let the other ones be Don't be a collector of more than you need Got a lotta things growing but keep watching your seeds Got to sprout in December what you planted in May If the harvest is empty, find some other good way But if you're in a hurry, I really go to go, If you're in a hurry, might have to find out slow That it's one thing to try, another to fly, You get there quicker just a step at a time, It's one thing to bark quite another to bite, And none of it's over til ya pack up at night.
