Well, Ive been ridin a winning horse for a long, long time
And sometimes I wonder, is this the end of the line
No one should take advantage of who they are
No man has got it made if he thinks he does, hes wrong
Every mothers son
Better hear what I say
Every mothers son
Will rise and fall someday
Ive seen it happen so many times, so many times before
Some mans got so much money, he doesnt worry no more
Or hes got such a pretty woman thatll treat him fine
Well, my friend has been a fool, it happens every time
Every mothers son
Better hear what I say
Every mothers son
Will rise and fall someday
Im not tryin to preach to no one, to no one at all
Ive seen so many of my good friends just rise to fall
Cause they got so much money or a woman so fine
Well, my friends have all been fools, it happens every time
Every mothers son
Better hear what I say
Every mothers son
Will rise and fall someday
What I say
Every mothers son
Better hear what I say
Every mothers son
Will rise and fall someday
What I say
Oh, every mothers son
Will rise and fall someday
Every mothers, every mothers son
