Easy Come, Easy Go

I've traveled down a few roads in my time Like a leaf blown by the wind A young man thinkin' He might set the world afire Full of life and out to win I started out believing luck was on my side And thought that I had time to spare I found out luck is just a state of mind And life's not always fair You pay your nickel, you take your chance And see which way the river flows May your troubles be like sculptures made of sand Washed away when you reach home Easy come, easy go Throw you troubles to the wind When it starts to blow And celebrate the comfort you have known Easy come, easy go I never reached the stars Or sailed the seven seas Moved no mountains And no one's heard of me And the wind is still as cold As a painful memory No one gets to come home free But I've seen the sunrise Crimson blossom in the sky And watched a baby being born I've held the frail hand Of a friend about to die I've been thrilled And I've been torn Easy come, easy go Turn your collar to the wind When it starts to blow And celebrate the love that you have known Easy come, easy go
