Lyric about life's challenges

Lyrics

Solitaire
Words and Music by The Woodmen

Verse One

You walk alone on the beach of your life
Through the winds of change, through a sea of strife
?cause Solitaire is the name of your game
What a lonely man, what a cryin? shame, whoa

Bridge

The tide takes you out
But it won?t bring you in (oh, no)
Damn the secrets, damn the lies (damn you)
There?s no crutch, no compromise

Chorus

Playin? Solitaire, whoa
Solitaire, whoa . . . Solitaire

Verse Two

When it?s on the line, then it?s on your head
Any other way, you?d be better off dead (better off dead)
Well I asked you once but you told me twice
If the passion?s there, it?s no sacrifice, whoa

Bridge

There?s no letting up
When they can?t take you down (oh, no)
?spare the rod, spoil the child? (spare me)
Don?t mean nothin? in a world gone wild

Chorus

Solitaire, whoa
Solitaire, whoa . . . Solitaire (yeah)

Lead Guitar

Verse Three

So you take the reigns on the ride of your life
With a smile and a wink and a switchblade knife
?cause Solitaire is the name of your game
No one to care, no one of blame

Chorus

Solitaire, whoa
Solitaire, whoa
