You’re the life of the party, everybody’s host

Still you need somewhere you can hide

All your good-time friends and your fair-weather has-beens

Lord knows….they’re just along for the ride

You think you’re a survivor, but boy you better think twice
G Dm D
No one rides for nothing, so step up and pay the price
[Refrão]
