Close oh so close but no cigar
Got to go home and heal my scars
I need a rest before I soldier on
So I guess this war takes all year long
But there's a dim light in the dark
Can't give up now
I've come this far
So maybe next time
Maybe the next one will work out
I'll think it through tomorrow
Why I couldn't get it right
I'll shoot another arrow
'Cause I could hit the bull's-eye
On my very next try
I think I'll make it next time
Almost most folks say doesn't count
Well I know there must be some way out
I may have missed that
But I still got some more lives
Let's say I'm like a cat
Can't kill my urge to strive
Obstacles always will abound
I'm sure I'll find my way around
So maybe next time
Maybe the next one will work out
Maybe
Maybe the next one will work out
I'll think it through tomorrow
Why I couldn't get it right
I'll shoot another arrow
'Cause I could hit the bull's-eye
On my very next try
I think I'll make it next time
