Giant - Lay It On The Line lyrics

rate me

When I was just a young boy, I had to work hard 'cause my daddy was gone<br />

My momma said "Son, life is never easy<br />

And if you wanna win then you gotta be strong", I gotta be strong<br />

I heard her say "It ain't ever black or white<br />

But when it's time to choose, I know you'll do what's right<br />

You gotta stand up and fight"<br />

Chorus:<br />

Give it up - give it up, give it everything you got<br />

Give it all, if you wanna take it to the top<br />

Give it up - give it up, 'cause you know there'll come a time<br />

When you gotta lay it, lay it, lay it, you gotta lay it on the line<br />

Well I was only fifteen, when I heard that rock 'n' roll sound<br />

(Oh what a sound)<br />

I bought a secondhand six-string, and I played it outta that neon town<br />

I still recall those old words from yesterday, I pick up that old guitar<br />

And every time I play, I can still hear her say<br />

Chorus<br />

(Instrumental break)<br />

I remember those hard times, I always had to fight just to make it through<br />

Now it's all behind me, but those old words still ring true<br />

Still ring true now<br />

The more it changes, the more it stays the same<br />

And boy, I'm telling you, if you wanna play the game<br />

The lesson's still the same<br />

Chorus repeats 2x<br />
