Well, I got a lot
Lord, I got a lotta losin'
Friends and heroes

Packin' up and movin'
And one of these days
I'll be left with nothin'

But memories and no time
So I better get
Yeah, I better get accustomed

'Cause, I got a lot
Lord, I got a lotta losin'
By and by and by and by and by


Well, we never got laid
But we had a lotta laughs, so

Runnin' like thieves through the streets of Chicago
Look at me now, I'm leanin' out of open windows, singin'
I still miss someone

So I better get,
Yeah, I better get accustomed
'Cause, I got a lot

Lord, I got a lotta losin'
By and by and by and by and by


Pickin' up speed
Pickin' up the pieces
Losin' leaves in every season

The winter ends right at my feet with
Flowers creepin' up through the crack in the concrete


Well, I got a lot
Lord, I got a lotta losin'
Friends and heroes

Packin' up and movin'
And one of these days
I'll be left with nothin'

But memories and no time
So I better get
Yeah, I better get accustomed

'Cause, I got a lot
Lord, I got a lotta losin'
By and by and by and by and by


I'm pickin' up speed
Pickin' up the pieces

Losin' leaves in every season
The winter ends right at my feet with
Flowers creepin' up through a crack in the concrete


Well, I got a lot
Lord, I got a lotta losin'

Friends and heroes
Are packin' up and movin'
One of these days

I'll be left with nothin'
But memories and no time
So I better get

Yeah, I better get accustomed
'Cause, I got a lot
Lord, I got a lotta losin'

By and by and by and by and by
By and by and by and by and by and by
