How Many

How many miles must I put on these old boots
Before I find what I'm looking for
Every other day it's just the same routine
I get up, put 'em on, and walk out that door

How many hands must I hold
Before I finally find the one
Someone that I can give my heart to
Love that won't turn around and run

[Chorus]
Tell me, how many times
Must I sing about love and heart break
And someone telling lies
There's no real answer why
That's just the way this game is played
That's the game that we call life

How many times must I hit the ground
Before I can't get back up
Well, I've been fortunate this far, I'd say
One day I'm gonna run out of luck

[Chorus]
Tell me, how many times
Must I sing about love and heart break
And someone telling lies
There's no real answer why
That's just the way this game is played
That's the game that we call life

[Repeat Chorus]
Tell me, how many times
Must I sing about love and heart break
And someone telling lies
There's no real answer why
That's just the way this game is played
That's the game that we call life
That's just the game that we call life
