Lyrics
All In
All in, I’ve gone all in
I’ll stick by you through thick and thin
Through all the ups and downs, through the good and the bad
Through every twist and turn on life’s windy path
This past year, a lotta things went wrong
I did my level best to keep steady and strong
We both hung tough, and I’m happy to say
Together we weathered the storm OK
All in, I’ve gone all in
I’ll stick by you through thick and thin
It’s you and me now, we’re both on a string
Together whatever the future may bring
Was a time when my nerve woulda failed
Was a time when I prob’ly woulda bailed
I woulda lost heart, and I woulda lacked the will
I’d’a thrown in my cards and then run for the hills
All in, I’ve gone all in
I’ll stick by you through thick and thin
For better or worse, whether rich or for poorer…
And where have I heard those words before?
So farewell to the simple, carefree life I once led
When my one and only object was to get girls into bed
But sooner or later that way of life comes to its natural end
There’s only so far you can go, if you don’t go all in
So yay for me, I finally reached adulthood
I’ve gone all in, though I wasn’t sure I could
I can’t feel right unless you are too
I’ve made up my mind to go all in on you
All in, I’ve gone all in
I’ll stick by you through thick and thin
For better or worse, whether rich or for poorer…
And where have I heard those words before?
