[Verse]
Johnny’s tired of the grind
Working 7 days a week
No matter how hard he tries
He goes further up the creek
[Verse]
He’s all blood, sweat and tears
And just can’t catch a break
His life is too damn hard
And he’s taken all he can take
[Verse]
He’s gonna make that leap
And kiss his job goodbye
He doesn’t know if it’s right
But he’s just gotta try
[Chorus]
You live on cheap takeout
And cigarettes and booze
When you have nothing
You have nothing left to lose
So just learn to be the ball
Give it everything you’ve got
The clock is ticking down
So you’ve got to take the shot
Yeah, no matter what…
You’ve got to take the shot
[Verse]
He’s hopping on the bus
The first one outta town
Searching for a new start
And he’s not backing down
[Verse]
The fog begins to clear
And it frees up his mind
He knows his choice was right
Leaving his old life behind
[Chorus]
You live on cheap takeout
And cigarettes and booze
When you have nothing
You have nothing left to lose
So just learn to be the ball
Give it everything you’ve got
The clock is ticking down
So you’ve got to take the shot
Yeah, no matter what…
You’ve got to take the shot
[Guitar Solo]
[Bridge]
You can’t get ahead
By running in place
Just keep moving on
And finally win the race
[Final Chorus]
You live on cheap takeout
And cigarettes and booze
When you have nothing
You have nothing left to lose
So just learn to be the ball
Give it everything you’ve got
The clock is ticking down
So you’ve got to take the shot
Yeah, no matter what…
You’ve got to take the shot
