Lyrics

Every cloud has a silver lining, every dog has his day
She said, "now don't say nothin'
If you don't have something nice to say."
The tough, now they get going, when the going gets tough
But for you my best was never good enough

"Now don't try for a home run, baby
If you can get the job done with a hit"
Remember, "a quitter never wins and a winner never quits"
"The sun don't shine on a sleepin' dog's ass"
And all the rest of that stuff
But for you my best was never good enough

"If god gives you nothin' but lemons, then you make some lemonade"
"The early bird catches the fuckin' worm
Rome wasn't built in a day"

"Now life's like a box of chocolates
You never know what you're going to get"
"Stupid is as stupid does and all the rest of that shit"

Come on pretty baby, call my bluff
