Step By Step

These lyrics are a little bit wrong:

I was just a joker in a serious game I didn't have the heart to play But sooner or later I'll find a reason to tkrow it away Risin' on the crest of a natural wave That never seems to break my way I'm livin' without it But I got to do something about it

Step by step, little by little move a little closer to me Step by step take it line by line one day at a time Move move move, move a little closer to me Step by step The deal is mine

I was just a runner in a one horse race Livin' on the don't pass line Sooner or later I got to lose cause I'm wasting my time Lady Luck must have been a wonderful girl She's never been a friend of mine I'm living without her But I still got that mountain to climb

Step by step, little by little, move a little closer to me Step by step take it line by line, one day at a time Move move move, move a little closer to me Step by step the deal is mine

Step by step little by little, move a little closer to me Step by step take it line by line, one day at a time Move move move, move a little closer to me Step by step, the deal is mine

sounds like someone gambling or betting on a horse race maybe anyone have any ideas?
