lyrics

I watched my buddy roll a perfect game
You better believe it's not his first time at the lanes
Practiced and perfect plain to see
He's making it look easy
Like a surgeon with a steady hand
Or the farmer at one with the land
Practiced and perfect and plain to see
He's making it look easy
Ain't about the money fortune or fame
Trying to do one thing right while I still can
You see the daredevil's high-wire act
Got to believe she didn't always work without a net
Practiced and perfect and plain to see
She's making it look easy
Ain't about the money fortune or fame
Trying to do one thing right while I still can
I'll do it over, and over and over again
I'll be bowing down to the gods of repetition
If at first you don't succeed try it again
Pick yourself up get back in the game
Practiced and perfect and it's plain to see
Making it look easy
I've been working on this riff all night
Sooner or later I'm gonna get it right
Practiced and perfect and plain to see
Making it look easy
