The Bug
Written by - Mark Knopfler
From - Come On, Come On
Well, it's a strange old game
You learn it slow
One step forward and it's back you go
You're standing on the throttle
You're standing on the brake
In the groove 'til you make a mistake

Sometimes you're the windshield
Sometimes you're the bug
Sometimes it all comes together
But sometimes you're a fool in love
Sometimes you're the Louisville slugger
But sometimes you're the ball
Sometimes it all comes together
But sometimes you're gonna lose it all
Oh, yeah

You gotta know happy
You gotta know glad
Because you're gonna know lonely
And you're gonna know sad
When you're rippin' and a ridin'
And you're coming on strong
You start slippin' and a slidin'
And it all goes wrong

Yeah, sometimes you're the windshield
Sometimes you're the bug
Sometimes it all falls together, then
Sometimes you're a fool in love
Sometimes you're the Louisville slugger
But sometimes you're the ball
Sometimes it all comes together
But sometimes you're gonna lose it all
Oh, yeah

One day you got the glory
And then you got none
One day you're a diamond
And then you're a stone
Everything can change
In the blink of an eye
So let the good times roll
Before we say goodbye

Sometimes you're the windshield
Sometimes you're the bug
An' sometimes it all comes together
But sometimes you're a fool in love
Sometimes you're the Louisville slugger
But sometimes you're the ball
An' sometimes it all comes together
But sometimes you're gonna lose it all

Sometimes you're the windshield
Sometimes you're the bug
Sometimes it all comes together
But sometimes you're a fool in love

Sometimes you're the windshield
Sometimes you're the bug
Sometimes it all comes together
But sometimes you're a fool in love

Yeah
