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

And just when I feel ’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
