lyrics

they say that love is blind
it makes it hard to find
your queen of hearts
when you can't see the cards
they say that beauty fades
but love remains
if you can get that far
you won't look good but you are
they say fools rush in
just tell me when
i'm ready for the ride
they say it's all you need
but it sure does seem to be
in awful short supply

they say that time is money
ain't it funny how
we spend our lives
tryin' to make a dime
they say that cash is king
but i'm still waiting
on my royalties
they hung me out to dry
they say it's pay to play
no wonder all my friends
are poor as dirt
they say that talk is cheap
but they keep spewin'
all these million dollar words

they say the good die young
guess i'm about halfway
to hell by now
cruisin' down the route
they say the road is paved
with good intentions
just don't look down
and keep one foot on the ground
they say to walk the line
but it's so fine
my feet they bleed and burn
they say that life is pain
i'd say you might as well
enjoy it while it hurts
