Tom Rush - All A Man Can Do lyrics

rate me

Well it seems so long ago, I took the train to Quanico

I Kissed my mama, shook my father?s hand

I was just a raw recruit, dressed up in my soldier suit

Fresh and young without a clue, what I thought a man should do

Take your chances take your shot, cause 50/50?s all you got

Make each day the best you can, that?s a line I understand

Live each moment like your last, cause life goes by you so damn fast

Make a promise and keep it true cause that is all a man can do

I took my engine made of steel, I walked it through the killing fields

I took the time to say a prayer or two,

I made some friends along the way, some returned some had to stay

And some of us could bear the pain, but some were never quite the same

Take your chances take your shot, cause 50/50?s all you got

Make each day the best you can, that?s a line I understand

Live each moment like your last, cause life goes by you so damn fast

Make a promise and keep it true cause That is all a man can do

It doesn?t seem so long ago, I hitched down to New Mexico

I kissed my mama, I saw my father?s stone

Friends are gone or out or touch, but nothing seems to change that much

The desert?s hot the sky?s still blue, I?m getting by still making due

Take your chances take your shot, cause 50/50?s all you got

Make each day the best you can, that?s a line I understand

Live each moment like your last, cause life goes by you so damn fast

Make a promise and keep it true, cause that is all a man can do

Make a promise and keep it true, cause that is all a man can do
