Every Mother's Son (Live, CBGB, NYC, December 1993)

Got a little Skynyrd tune

I worked up for it today

I've been riding a winning horse

For a long, long time

Sometimes I wonder

Is this the end of the line?

No man 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'm saying

Every mother's son

Rise and fall some days

Seen it happen so many times

So many times before

Some man's got so much money

He doesn't worry no more

Or he's got such a pretty woman

That'll treat him fine

My friends been a fool

It happens every time

Every mother's son

Better hear what I'm saying

Every mother's son oh

Will rise and fall one day

I'm not tryin' to preach to no one

To no one at all

Seen so many my good friends

Just rise to fall

'Cause they got so much money

Or a woman so fine

My friends have all been fools

It happens every time, everytime

Every mother's son

Better hear what I'm saying

Every mother's son, no

Rise and fall one day

What I say?

Every mother's son

Better hear what I'm saying

Every mother's son, oh

Rise and fall one day
