The old friends and the family Rumbling in the alley Somehow you don't care anymore The guts and the glory The old hard luck story Heard it all before The bad breaks and the heartaches You give 'em , you get 'em Make all the same mistakes That's cool, you let 'em No use trying to please them dear There's only one season here You cut loose of the whole deal You jump on in your bad wheels There's just not a whole lot more to know You drop down into first gear You start out from right here And point it where you want to go The rain falls and the wind blows, That's how they rig it It's all part of the floor show Sit back and dig it You don't need a reason dear Only one season here Now we all had some good fun But this one here's a re-run Generally it's more sad than true The bad guys and the black hats We've been there and done that, Now I'm gonna do something new The good luck and the big bucks You get 'em when you need 'em It's up there in the headlines It ain't hard to read 'em Ringing out loud and clear Just the one season here Ringing out loud and clear Just the one season here No use trying to please them dear Just the one season here.
