Can't Win Them All

As a kid I played on the sacred ground

Kicked an old leather ball round and round

Dreaming of all the football fans

A boyhood dream, my first romance

Teenage years, grand finals days

Crowds were roaring like ticket parade

It all came down to the final play

Win or lose we were always brave

You can't win 'em all

It can break you’re heart

Head's down, worlds fall apart

The pain can burn, it's a lesson learnt

Well I hung up my boots, yeah life drifted on

I dropped the ball, learnt to battle on

It's funny how life is like football game

Same goal posts but the fields have changed

You can't win 'em all

It can break you’re heart

Head's down, worlds fall apart

The pain can burn, it's a lesson learnt

Daddy said "Remember the result on the old score board"

"Let it burn deep, you can't win them all"

Daddy stands ready, his last battlefield

Like a worn out football is how he feels

Life counts down and he trails by one

He's got the ball tucked in and he's ready to run

You can’t win’ em all

It can break you’re heart

Head's down, worlds fall apart

The pain will burn, love's lesson learnt

Daddy said remember the result on the old scoreboard

Sometimes you win, sometimes you fall

Time's ticking down on the old score board

Make sure the ball's tucked in and you give it your all

Then you win it all

If you give it your all

Then you win it all
