  • Well, I got a lot
    Lord, I got a lotta losin'
    Friends and heroes
    Packin' up and movin'
    And one of these days
    I'll be left with nothin'
    But memories and no time
    So I better get
    Yeah, I better get accustomed
    'Cause, I got a lot
    Lord, I got a lotta losin'
    bye

    Well, we never got paid
    But we had a lotta laughs though
    Runnin' like thieves through the streets of Chicago
    Look at me now, I'm leanin' out a Portland window, singin'
    "I still miss someone"
    So I better get,
    Yeah, I better get accustomed
    'Cause, I got a lot
    Lord, I got a lotta losin'
    bye and bye

    Pickin' up speed
    Pickin' up the pieces
    Losin' leaves in every season
    The winter ends right at my feet with
    Flowers peepin' up through the crack in the concrete

    Well, I got a lot
    Lord, I got a lotta losin'
    Friends and heroes
    Packin' up and movin'
    And one of these days
    I'll be left with nothin'
    But memories and no time
    So I better get
    Yeah, I better get accustomed
    'Cause, I got a lot
    Lord, I got a lotta losin'
    bye and bye

    I'm pickin' up speed
    Pickin' up the pieces
    Losin' leaves in every season
    The winter ends right at my feet with
    Flowers peepin' up through a crack in the concrete

    Well, I got a lot
    Lord, I got a lotta losin'
    Friends and heroes
    Are packin' up and movin'
    One of these days
    I'll be left with nothin'
    But memories and no time
    So I better get
    Yeah, I better get accustomed
    'Cause, I got a lot
    Lord, I got a lotta losin'
    By and by and by and by and by
    By and by and by and by and by and by Writer/s: M. Ward
