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

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 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
