Ballad Of A Comeback Kid
Lyricist:Billy Stewart
Pray for content, settle for free rent The tenements recall Rome High five, look up, look alive As the scions of history, guess another mystery wrong, wrong, wrong
Recite your lines and I'll quote scriptures Everything was fine until membership lost its privileges Everyone in town, wanted to be around you This went on for awhile until they finally found you
Ever so careful, on the strip we cruise Crippled in someone else's shoes Who knew? Mind you, I never had to stand in line You did, for the ballad of a comeback kid
Watch your step, as you step down from the podium Returned from the war to a hero's welcome What's more you just had to win? Blazing new trails, waving goodbye to the audience Held captive, the crowd was inactive, it made such perfect sense

But you won't, Kelly says, she could have But you won't, Kelly says, she could have Like a bat out of hell, time has come for Like a bat out of hell, time has come for Like a bat out of hell, time has come for you
Ever so careful, on the strip we cruise Crippled in someone else's shoes Who knew? Mind you, I never had to stand in line You did
Ever so careful, on the strip we cruise Crippled in someone else's shoes Who knew? Mind you, I never had to stand in line You did, for the ballad of a comeback kid
