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
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
