Radney Foster - Until It's Gone lyrics

rate me

You can't sneak your way up the ladder

Have it handed to you on a silver platter

It don't depend on who or what you know

It won't rub off of some movie star

You gotta bang it out on a cheap guitar

It doesn't matter what you drive

It's how you go

If I'm gonna play. I'm gonna play loud

Pour the midnight oil, let it all burn out

If I'm gonna love, I'm gonna love big

I wasn't born to hold nothin' back from you

and that's the way it is

I don't want life watered-down

I want to drink it strong

Until it's gone, until it's gone

Well, nobody here sent for you, son

There's a million roads but you just get one

Treat every quarter inch like a hundred yards

Better swing your groove

Like you swing your hammer

Sing like Cash did in the slammer

You can't go half at it, ya got to nail it hard

If I'm gonna play. I'm gonna play loud

Pour the midnight oil, let it all burn out

If I'm gonna love, I'm gonna love big

I wasn't born to hold nothin' back from you

and that's the way it is

I don't want life watered-down

I want to drink it strong

Until it's gone, until it's gone
