Lynyrd Skynyrd - Every Mother's Son (live '75)

I've been ridin' a winning horse for a long, long time
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, he's wrong

Every mother's son better hear what I say
Every mother's son will rise and fall someday

I've seen it happen so many times, so many times before
Some man got so much money he doesn't worry no more
Or he's got such a pretty woman that'll treat him fine
My friend has been a fool
It happens everytime

Every mother's son better hear what I say
Every mother's son will rise and fall someday

I'm not tryin to preach to no one, to no one at all
I've seen so many of 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

Every mother's son better hear what I say
Every mother's son will rise and fall someday

What I say
Every mother's son better hear what I say
Every mother's son will rise and fall someday

Oh, every mother's son will rise and fall someday

[RollGypsyRoll]

a GREAT video from the BEST band in the world!

RIP Ronnie, Steve, Cassie, Allen, Leon, Billy and Dean... missed, but not forgotten!

[Rbilak]

Ronnie's lyrics, Gary and Allen's guitar rifts and Billy's classic Piano. One of my favorite songs due to the fact it never got any airplay. It is sad to what passes for music today. When I see Lady GAG-GAG and Brittney Idiot on top of the charts I can only laugh. Skynyrd survives 40 years later and forever. Fly on you freebirds!!!!!!!!!!!!

[FlippyMyDog]

love that piano solo

[treblejunkie]

What an excellent job on every song they do.

Is it me or what? Got a smile when Allen nudged Ronnie's hat. Even though it was most likely accidental, Allen always hammed it up behind Ronnie when Ronnie was busy ! Damn good !

I'm definitely a fan, but I've never heard this song. I like it! ... but I am young ... was born in the late 70s.
