Ahead Of The Game Lyrics Mark Knopfler

It was nothing but the hits in a room downtown

They're noisy as hell but nice

People don't usually get to play in there

More than a time or twice

You had your a regular spot

They were even advertising your name

Better than the usual thing you got

Staying just ahead of the game

Ahead of the game


And I can't tell you one thing new

About playing for the door

Some of my dream is back there too

With the sawdust on the floor

We're worn out and weary, all of us

But we know why we came

Banged up and battered like this old bus

Staying just ahead of the game

Ahead of the game


The sky's as big as nowhere

Which is where we've been

Left a dream behind there somewhere

You've got to have a dream

I've gave your buddy a ride to the train

He was telling me he'd be back

There was a red light shining, love in vain

When we rolled across the tracks

Barista bartender selling beat-up car

Needs a ticket for a bus or a plane

Singer songwriter heading for home

Staying just ahead of the game

Ahead of the game
