Grateful Dead If The Shoe Fits Lyrics

Will your high hopes get you there Goal so far and yet so near You can't ignore the writing on the wall Every time you rise you fall End's nowhere in sight at all Why should you pick it up and try again

Give it up, 'cause you can't win Let it go while you still can Gave it all you had, now you're feelin' bad So you're gone, ready to roam You come on so strong with that same sad song Wherever you go Run along, take your ball and go home

Promised yet another chance Forbidden just a single glance So much rides on what you say and do Discarded truths and famous myths Tales that life deceives you with Certain things you always thought you knew

Give it up, 'cause you can't win Let it go while you still can Gave it all you had, now you're feelin' bad So you're gone, ready to roam You come on so strong with that same sad song Wherever you go Run along, take your ball and go home
Helpful hands that pull you down (note 1) Smaller minds turn you around Friends in need are never really true So why should you put trust in this The bridge above the dark abyss You never learned you can't make all the rules

Give it up, 'cause you can't win Let it go while you still can Gave it all you had, now you're feelin' bad So you're gone, ready to roam You come on so strong with that same sad song Wherever you go Run along, take your ball and go home

Run along, take your ball and go home Take a hike, we ain't got all night Take your ball, get out my house, go home
