Well this is no life, but it's the life that I choose,
I guess I'll never be the man in the expensive shoes,
Now maybe every fight presents a new way to lose,
And I will never walk around in your expensive shoes,

But there's a wind that blows,
Every time you light up your cigarette,
There must be someone looking out for you,

But if you don't know how lucky you are,
Then maybe you just never will do

Now you continue chasing something that is quicker than you,
I guess that everybody does it and heaven knows I do,
So maybe every lover has a taste for the blues,
Maybe I'll never walk a mile in your expensive shoes,

But there's a wind that blows,
Every time you light up your cigarette,
There must be someone looking out for you,

But if you don't know how lucky you are,
Then maybe you just never will do

Well this no life but it's the life that I choose,
And it's not exactly lucrative but I guess it'll do,
So work a little hard and someday you'll get yours,

And I sincerely apologise for all the trouble that i've caused

But there's a wind that blows,
Every time you light up your cigarette,
There must be someone looking out for you,

But if you don't know how lucky you are,
Then maybe you just never will do

Oh maybe you just never will do,

Now maybe you just never will do
