I wish I could offer a beer or some tea
But it's the maid's year off I'm sure you can see
I can't even scrape up a line of cocaine
Ravaged by fortune, ruined by fame
man we've hade quite a ride and it ain't over yet
looking for big bucks but can't get out of debt
a little too lucky to get out of the game
ravaged by fortune, ruined by fame
this ain't no place for sissies the lady once said
We found out she's right, it's a kick in the head
you know you can't change it and it's a damn shame
ravaged by fortune ruined by fame
lift:
yeah, we really made it look at all that we've got
but the things that we did i hope hell's not too hot
too many load-ins, too many long nights
too many cities where you don't see the sights
faces out in the dark start to look all the same
ravaged by fortune ruined by fame
we can't retire 'cause we're already tired
we'll keep it up right down to the wire
the lights may be fading but we do it again
ravaged by fortune ruined by fame
lift:
We were almost famous or that's what we thought
Should have landed in jail we just didn't get caught
It's been good to see you next time don't wait so long
Bring your guitar and we'll play some songs
We'll have a few beers, talk about our old flames
Ravaged by fortune ruined by fame

Story Behind the Song:
