INTRO: VERSE 1 Well once I met a rich man I was just seventeen Said mister howd ya do it you were born a pourman you´re not too different than me He said son you´ve got to work hard all your life Then the good luck will hit you right between the eyes It takes some duct tape and some fishin´ line cross your fingers for the first time Kick off the ground think you´re doin´ good And when it all comes crashing down you did the best you could VERSE 2 I said I got a good job in a rock and roll band playin´ my guitar Got an old pa and a rusted out van I think well go real far He said whoa now son you´re talking bout a differet kinda life But who knows the good luck could hit you right between the eyes It takes some duct tape and some fishin´ line cross your fingers for the first time Kick off the ground think you´re doin´ good And when it all comes crashing down you did the best you could SOLO (play INTRO and hold on till next verse) VERSE 3 The moral of the story will always ring true wherever your path may lead A rich man, a poor man, a writer of the song, a boy of seventeen FINAL Chorus It takes some duct tape and some fishin´ line cross your fingers for the first time Kick off the ground think you´re doin´ good It takes some duct tape and some fishin´ line cross your fingers for the very last time Kick off the ground think you´re doin´ good And when it all comes crashing down you did the best you could And when it all comes crashing down you did the best you could (Hold on till the end)
