End of the night and my money's spent   Gotta hock my clothes to pay my rent   It's a roll of the dice and it's the same ole game   Those crazy snakes done bit me once again      Now I wanna tell you   It's been a long road and a difficult time   My life's been so blue   But I ain't giving up   And I'm ready now to try, try, try      (chorus)      I've seen the time when you could not stop the rain   When nothing changes and every day stays the same   Those bitter grapes have now turned to the sweetest wine   I'm ready for the sun to shine, a new day is dawning      When it gets too tough, comes to push and shove   I swear it was you baby who invented love   It's the same ole rhythm, it's the same ole rhyme   It's the same ole stuff that gets me every time      Now I wanna tell you   It's been a long road and a difficult time   My life without you   Ain't been easy babe   But I'm ready now to fly, fly, fly      (repeat chorus twice)      Get ready, get ready   Everybody get ready
