Every Mother's Son

i've been ridin'
a winning horse
for a long, long time
sometimes i wonder
is this the end of the line
no man 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'm saying
every mother's son
love, rise and fall one day

seen it happen so many times
so many times before
some man's got so much money
he doesn't worry no more
always got some shape pretty woman
that'll treat him fine
my friend has been a fools
it happens everytime

every mother's son
better hear what i say
every mother's son
love, rise and fall one day

not tryin' to preach to no one
to no one at all
i've seen a lot 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
love, rise and fall one day

what i say
every mother's son
better hear what i say
every mother's son
love, rise and fall one day
