(Mark Knopfler)

Well it's a strange old game you learn it slow

One step forward and it's back you go

You're standing on the throttle

You're standing on the brake

In the groove 'til you make a mistake

(Chorus)

Sometimes you're the windshield

Sometimes you're the bug

Sometimes it all comes together baby

Sometimes you're just a fool in love

Sometimes you're the Louisville Slugger

Sometimes you're the ball

Sometimes it all comes together

Sometimes you're gonna lose it all

You gotta know happy - you gotta know glad

Because you're gonna know lonely

And you're gonna know sad

When you're rippin' and you're ridin'

And you're coming on strong

You start slippin' and slidin'

And it all goes wrong because

(repeat chorus)

One day you got the glory and then you got none

One day you're a diamond and then you're a stone

Everything can change in the blink of an eye

So let the good times roll before we say goodbye because

(repeat chorus)

Sometimes you're the windshield

Sometimes you're the bug

Sometimes it all comes together baby

Sometimes you're just a fool in love

Sometimes you're the windshield

Sometimes you're the bug

Sometimes it all comes together baby

Sometimes you're just a fool in lo
