Someday Just Playing king of the mountain on a dead end street At the edge of the block is where we cut our teeth The world was trying to sweep up off our feet I'd run home crying with cut up knees "It's alright," Mama said. "It's alright." Now nothing's changed and it never will When you learn to swallow defeat like a bitter pill Remember the story about Jack 'n' Jill They ended up driving in a Coupe de Ville You don't know when your ship will arrive Chorus: Don't give up, don't give in Stand and fight, you just might win When the ride gets rough Hold on tight Someday just might be tonight You're the kind that goes swimming with a raincoat on Who's to say if you are right or wrong Let me know when you figured it out Just don't go drowning in a shadow of doubt Don't let the bastards make up your mind Chorus: Don't give up, don't give in Stand and fight, you just might win When the ride gets rough Hold on tight Someday just might be tonight You may never find a treasure that's been washed up on the beach Heaven won't be waiting for you walking down these city streets Remember Mama's Band Aids on your scabby knees They had to bleed for little victories Chorus: Don't give up, don't give in Stand and fight, you just might win When the ride gets rough Hold on tight Someday just might be tonight Don't give up, don't give in You never know when the ship will come in When the ride gets rough Hold on tight Someday just might be tonight
