Trials and Tribulations

Bring Sally up, Bring Sally down
Lift and squat gotta tear the ground
Old miss Lucy’s dead and gone
Left me here to weep and moan

Going through trials and tribulations
Always seeking jubilations
Elations, frustrations
What you need to do is practice some patience
When you say nothing every seems to change
Stop your life and try to rearrange
Find all the players put ‘em in their place
Move ‘em on the board into the next space
And just count all your steps ahead
Watch it unfold before it’s said
And you hope they get the message you send
Before you finally reach the end

Bring Sally up, Bring Sally down
Lift and squat gotta tear the ground
Old miss Lucy’s dead and gone
Left me here to weep and moan
Bring Sally up, Bring Sally down
Lift and squat gotta tear the ground
Old miss Lucy’s dead and gone
Left me here to weep and moan

Take a picture and remember the way we were
‘Cause this night’s gonna end up in a blur
My only competition I see is in the mirror
If I could only get my life to be a little clearer
What I’m hearing is a voice inside my ear
Telling me to leave the past behind in the rear
But I can’t help looking over my shoulder
And thinking of the things that I could have told her
I turn back around and I face the future
You’re a wildflower aint no one can ever root you
365 times the world’s spun
And I’m still trying to unravel all the damage that you’ve done
You gotta me on the outside looking in
I’m on the road next week I’ll be home again
What is life without risk, what is life without living?
What is life if you don’t use everything that you’re given

Bring Sally up, Bring Sally down
Lift and squat gotta tear the ground
Old miss Lucy’s dead and gone
Left me here to weep and moan
Bring Sally up, Bring Sally down
Lift and squat gotta tear the ground
Old miss Lucy’s dead and gone
Left me here to weep and moan

What’s that creeping up behind you
Always there to remind you
To remind you of the things you’ll never see again
And all the things you want to be but couldn’t see until the end
Just me and you looking through a smoky haze
Just me and you going through a lonely day
Just me and you trying to make things last
Now you wound up in my past, funny how it went so fast
Now you’re running never at a slower speed
Grabbing all the things that you think you need
And you wonder which turn you made was wrong
Aint it funny how it didn’t last so long

Bring Sally up, Bring Sally down
Lift and squat gotta tear the ground
Old miss Lucy’s dead and gone
Left me here to weep and moan
Bring Sally up, Bring Sally down
Lift and squat gotta tear the ground
Old miss Lucy’s dead and gone
Left me here to weep and moan


Bring Sally up, Bring Sally down
Lift and squat gotta tear the ground
Old miss Lucy’s dead and gone
Left me here to weep and moan
If you hate it fold your arms
If you love it clap your hands
If you hate it fold your arms
If you love it clap your hands
Bring Sally up, Bring Sally down
Bring Sally up, Bring Sally down
Bring Sally up, Bring Sally down
Lift and squat gotta tear the ground
Old miss Lucy’s dead and gone
Left me here to weep and moan
If you hate it fold your arms
If you love it clap your hands

Bring Sally up, Bring Sally down
Lift and squat gotta tear the ground
Old miss Lucy’s dead and gone
Left me here to weep and moan
