(Allen Collins - Ronnie Van Zant)
|
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
|
|
[Chorus:]
|
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
|
|
[Chorus]
|
|
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
|
|
[Chorus]
|
|
What I say
|
|
[Chorus]
|
|
What I say
|
Oh, every mother's son will rise and fall someday
|
