By michael mcdonald/grady walker/harry garfield      If we could dream our lives away   That would be just fine   Without the cares and fears that prey on everybody's mind      Tryin' to get back to a memory   Tryin' to put the flame back in our hearts   As we look back and we see the past   Like it never was      Chorus:   'cause it's no such luck   There ain't no such thing   Can't blame the stars or fever of spring   No such luck   There ain't no such thing   Something's always goin' wrong      We're just one step ahead of the heartaches|   Tryin' to disguise how they take their toll   Just when you think that you got it down   Then you lose control      Chorus:
