Lyrics Lynyrd Skynyrd

Lynyrd Skynyrd

Every Mother's Son

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
