Every Mother's Son
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
Well I've been ridin' a winning horse for a long, long time
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 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 everytime
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
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
Oh, every mother's son will rise and fall someday
