Lyrics

The Comeback Kid  

I was golden, none could touch me
 Really killed them in my prime 
Wasn’t long ‘fore things got ugly
 Lost the rhythm, then the rhyme  

And just when I feel I’m fading away 
Can’t recall all the things I did 
I get back on track and I do it my way
 Dont’cha know I’m The Comeback Kid  

I grew older, none would touch me 
And those dollars turned to dimes 
All my ties began to come free 
Leaving only scars behind  

And just when I fear I’m fading away 
Can’t recall all the things I did
 I get back on track and I find a new way 
‘Cause you know I’m The Comeback Kid  

Like a ghost now, none can touch me 
Been and gone, but back and fine 
Kind of late, fate changed to lucky
 Got a whole new chance to shine
