Ballad Of A Comeback Kid Lyrics

Pray for content, settle for free rent, the tenements recall Rome
High five, look up, look alive,
as the scions of history guess another mystery
wrong (x3)
Recite your lines, and I'll quote scriptures
Everything, was fine until membership lost its privileges
Everyone in town, wanted to be around you
this went on for awhile until they finally found you

Ever so careful, on the strip we cruise, crippled in someone else's shoes
Who knew? Mind you, I never had to stand, in line you did, for the ballad of a comeback kid

Watch your step as you step down from the podium, returned from the war to a hero's welcome, what's more you just had to win
Blazing new trails, waving goodbye to the audience, held captive, the crowd was inactive, it made such perfect sense

Ever so careful on the strip we cruise, crippled in someone else's shoes
Who knew? Mind you, I never had to stand in line, you did

But you won't, Kelly says she could've (x2)

Like a bat out of hell, time has come for you(x3)

Ever so careful on the strip we cruise, crippled in someone else's shoes
Who knew? Mind you, I never had to stand in line, you did

Ever so careful, on the strip we cruise, crippled in someone else's shoes
Who knew? Mind you, I never had to stand, in line you did, for the ballad of a comeback kid
