I never was much good at walking lines

I never learned the right steps through the straight and narrow path

And I regret to say I don't remember faith in anything

So I found my way with a little help from my friends

You can't write a song if you never lost anything you truly loved

Can't start a fire crying in the rain

'Cause we all play a part in history and we all end up just a memory

Around here it's either do or die

No one really wants to know your name or cares where you come from

The pain you think you know, there's always someone just below

Getting by, just living high, the story goes

So light a fire, leave it all behind

Hit the road and lose your mind

Steal a heart and find what you really need

Cause we all play a part in history and we all end up just a memory

To someone else, we leave behind

Gonna leave this place behind

Don't regret what you've never tried

Sing what's left inside

When nothing really matters, you've got nothing left to lose

Look to me for something to believe

Can't write a song if you never lost anything you truly loved

Can't start a fire crying in the rain

So light a fire, leave it all behind

Hit the road and lose your mind

Find out what it is you really need

'Cause we all play a part in history, we all end up just a memory

'Cause we all play a part in history, we all end up just a memory
