lyrics

It's days like these a man can use a friend
Everybody plays the loser now and then
You can't pull up your weeds 'cos they've already gone to seed
The damn things just grow right back again

Sometimes you can't see the mountain 'cos you're on it
Sometimes you bet a horse that's already run
Sometimes you lose the track and it's too late to circle back
Well there's nothing need doing because nothing can be done

Ol’ Caesar was a gambler with the knack
And he bet his life he'd end up in the black
Good Roman friends and countrymen are quick to lend a hand
Just watch it when they say they've got your back

Sometimes you can't see the mountain 'cos you're on it
Sometimes you bet a horse that's already run
Sometimes you lose the track and it's too late to circle back
Well there's nothing need doing because nothing can be done

Now the good times never work out like they could
And the bad times won't move on the way they should
But as the world is round, all roads lead uphill and down
And any path'll get you through the woods

Sometimes you can't see the mountain 'cos you're on the mountain
Sometimes you bet a horse that's already run
Sometimes you lose the track and it's too late to circle back
Well there's nothing need doing because nothing can be done

They vowed that one day they would combine their talents & share what they had learned. Now, via the power of the Information Super-Lonesome Highway, The Sawdust Brothers have been reunited. ... more
