I’ve been washed up
But I’ve never been washed out.
I’ve been cleaned up
And a few times near cleaned out.
I’m old enough to know much better
But I still think I can fly
Gonna saddle up my ego,
Give life another try
And I won’t quit now

I been locked up,
But I never been locked out
Found love but lost the key
To love’s house
Tried before and I got busted
But I still think I can fly
Gonna saddle up my ego
Give life another try
And I won’t quit now

Oh I sailed the seven seas,
Flew as high as I could fly
Got stranded in a nightmare
Stranded in a lie,
But darkness only haunts us
If we don’t look for the light
I was almost lost forever
But life’s worth another try
And I won’t quit now
Oh no I won’t quit now

I was saved once but I guess it didn’t take
Got tempted and made a few mistakes
Fell in with the devil
Fell as far as I could fall
Now I’m gonna get back up
Try again to win it all
And I won’t quit now

Oh I sailed the seven seas,
Flew as high as I could fly
Got stranded in a bad dream
Stranded in a lie,
But darkness only haunts us
If we don’t look for the light
I was almost lost forever
But life’s worth another try
And I won’t quit now
Oh no I won’t quit now
