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
