Chorus
Verse 2:
The big shot can't make it by himself.
The big shot can't make it by himself.
What's the good of tryin' to be it
If there ain't no one to see it?
Well you just can't make it by yourself, (by yourself)
The humble man can't make it by himself,
The humble man can't make it by himself,
His heart will break in two one day
And he won't know what to do because
It's just too sad to make it by yourself, (by yourself)
Chorus
Verse 3:
Colonel Glenn had to make it by himself,
Colonel Glenn had to make it by himself,
He made it to orbit all alone,
But Conrad and Cooper brought it home,
Well you just can't make it by yourself, by yourself.
Robinson Crusoe thought he would make it by himself,
Robinson Crusoe thought he would make it by himself,
He made it for awhile, but Christ almighty,
Was he glad when he saw Friday, cause he
Just couldn't make it by himself.
Chorus
