Here I go again, it's been a long time, my long-lost friend
There I go again, as my life's river flows
Did I say again, will of steel it mustn't bend
There I go again, avoiding life's undertows
Have another drink, my friend, for we may never meet again
And if we don't, it's not to be, and if we do, we won't know when
Everyone's got their own row to hoe
As for me, I've gotta go
But rest assured, if I'm ever this way again
I'll stop by and visit you, my friends
Have another drink, my friend, for we may never meet again
And if we don't, it's not to be. And if we do, we won't know when
Everybody's got their own row to hoe
As for me, I've gotta go
But rest assured, if I'm ever this way again
I'll stop by and visit you, my friends
Here I go again, have I changed much, long-time friend
There I go again, I have some tales that could be told
Did I say again, it all began around Rivers Bend
Here it comes again, I'm glad to watch it all unfold
