In episode one of Sportsman of the Year, Jan Hellriegel argues that some of the worst things in life might just turn out to be the best.
"Looking back, I realise some of the worst things ever just happened to be some of the best things in disguise. I just didn't know how to read the signs" - Jan Hellriegel 2019.
HOUND DOG (IT'S A GOOD LIFE)
Shuffling around with my nose to the ground and my eyes all covered in scrim
I'm feeling sorry for myself and I don't know why because in truth I have everything.
What am I to choose as I fluff along this mortal coil?
What am I to lose if the road I choose is a lighter toil?
It's a good life if you want it if you let it into you.
It's a great life if you call it if you call it into you.
But it's a Hound Dog if you let it eat away at you.
So come on call it in the good life.
Let it in to you.
Days and days and hours and hours working for the man.
The rents catching up and you're going nowhere but you're doing the best you can.
What am I to choose as I fluff along this mortal coil?
What am I to lose if the road I choose is a lighter toil?
It's a good life if you want it if you let it into you.
It's a great life if you call it if you call it into you.
But it's a Hound Dog if you let it eat away at you.
So go on call it in the good life.
Let it in to you.
Days and days and hours and hours.
You watch your folks become tethered and soured.
In and out around the round.
There's no respite from the daily grind.
La la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la.
It's a good life if you want it if you let it into you.
It's a great life if you call it if you call it into you.
But it's a Hound Dog if you let it eat away at you.
So go on call it in the good life.
Let it in to you.
