Ray Lamontagne - Beg Steal Or Borrow lyrics

rate me

So your home town is bringing ya down

Are ya drownin in the small talk and the chatter

Are ya gonna step into line like your daddy done

Punchin the time and climbing life’s long ladder

You’ve been howling at the moon like a slack jawed fool

And breaking every rule they can throw on

But one of these days, it’s gonna be right soon

You’ll find your legs and go and stay gone

Young man full of big plans, and thinking about tomorrow

Young man gonna make a stand

ya beg, ya steal, ya borrow

Well all the friends that you knew in school

They used to be so cool

Now they just bore you

Well look at them now, already pulling the plow

So quick to take to grain, like some old mule

Young man full of big plans, and thinking about tomorrow

Young man gonna make a stand

ya beg, ya steal, ya borrow

Ya beg ya steal ya borrow

Dreaming of the day you’re gonna pack your bags and put them miles away

Oh just grab your girl and go where no one knows you

What will all the old folks say

So your home town’s bringing ya down.

Are ya drownin in the small talk and the chatter

Are ya gonna step into line like your daddy done

Punching the clock and climbing lifes long ladder

Young man, full of big plans and thinkin about tomorrow

Young man, gonna make a stand

ya beg ya steal ya borrow

Ya beg ya steal ya borrow
