The Bug Mary Chapin Carpenter

[Verse 1]
Well it's a strange old game you learn it slow
One step forward and it's back to go
You're standing on the throttle, you're standing on the brake
In the groove 'til you make a mistake

[Chorus]
Sometimes you're the windshield
Sometimes you're the bug
Sometimes it all comes together, babe
Sometimes you're a fool in love
Sometimes you're the Louisville slugger, babe
Sometimes you're the ball
Sometimes it all comes together, babe
Sometimes you're gonna lose it all

[Verse 2]
You gotta know happy, you gotta know glad
Because you're going to know lonely
And you're going to know sad
When you're rippin' and you're ridin' and you're comin' on strong
You start slipping and sliding and it all goes wrong
Because

[Chorus]
Sometimes you're the windshield
Sometimes you're the bug
Sometimes it all comes together, babe
Sometimes you're a fool in love
Sometimes you're the Louisville slugger, babe
Sometimes you're the ball
Sometimes it all comes together, babe
Sometimes you're gonna lose it all, yeah
