Verse 3

The bones are just too tough

and he doesn't have enough

Of what it takes to make

it to the top

What makes him want to go well

Lord I guess I know

He loves it too damn much to ever stop

He's never been a hero...

gets up to hear no score

And underneath his breath
he cusses to himself
Ab 
Db 
I'll ride him if I  (A flat major) get the chance  (D flat major) again
Gb 
He's  (G flat major) never been a hero...
