Well, I've been ridin' a winning horse for a long, long time |
|
And sometimes I wonder, is this the end of the line |
|
No one should take advantage of who they are |
|
No man has got it made if he thinks he does, he's wrong |
|
Every mother's son |
|
Better hear what I say |
|
Every mother's son |
|
Will rise and fall someday |
|
I've seen it happen so many times, so many times before |
|
Some man's got so much money, he doesn't worry no more |
|
Or he's got such a pretty woman that'll treat him fine |
|
Well, my friend has been a fool, it happens every time |
|
Every mother's son |
|
Better hear what I say |
|
Every mother's son |
|
Will rise and fall someday |
|
I'm not tryin' to preach to no one, to no one at all |
|
I've seen so many of my good friends just rise to fall |
|
'Cause they got so much money or a woman so fine |
|
Well, my friends have all been fools, it happens every time |
|
Every mother's son |
|
Better hear what I say |
|
Every mother's son |
|
Will rise and fall someday |
|
What I say |
|
Every mother's son |
|
Better hear what I say |
|
Every mother's son |
|
Will rise and fall someday |
|
What I say |
|
Oh, every mother's son |
|
Will rise and fall someday |
|
Every mother's, every mother's son |
