Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Standing in the pourin’ rain
By that old screen door where it all went insane
She says that I never learn
Just a grown man livin’ off a wrong-way turn

[Chorus 1]
Now I gotta make a new plan
Back at the startin’ line
That’s when I realize
I just can’t win em’ all
And The writings on the wall

[Verse 2]
Hey boy it’s a sure-shot thing
He said only one chance to make a mighty big swing
A life of envy for any man
Bet my last dollar on that losing hand

[Chorus 2]
Now I gotta find a better way
To turn these wrongs to right
That’s when I realize
I just can’t win em’ all
And The writings on the wall

[Bridge]
I chased them dreams down a dusty two-lane road
And carried more weight than one man should ever hold
Just a lonesome loser
From a tale as old as time
[Instrumental]

[Chorus 3]
Now I gotta make a new plan
Back at the startin’ line
That’s when I realize
I just can’t win em’ all
And The writings on the wall
The writings on the wall
The writings on the wall
The writings on the wall
