Lay It On The Line Lyrics - Singles - Giant

When I was just a young boy, I had to work hard 'cause my daddy was gone 

My momma said "Son, life is never easy 

And if you wanna win then you gotta be strong", I gotta be strong 

I heard her say "It ain't ever black or white 

But when it's time to choose, I know you'll do what's right 

You gotta stand up and fight" 

Chorus: 

Give it up - give it up, give it everything you got 

Give it all, if you wanna take it to the top 

Give it up - give it up, 'cause you know there'll come a time 

When you gotta lay it, lay it, lay it, you gotta lay it on the line 

Well I was only fifteen, when I heard that rock 'n' roll sound 

(Oh what a sound) 

I bought a secondhand six-string, and I played it outta that neon town 

I still recall those old words from yesterday, I pick up that old guitar 

And every time I play, I can still hear her say 

chorus 

(Instrumental break) 

I remember those hard times, I always had to fight just to make it through 

Now it's all behind me, but those old words still ring true 

Still ring true now 

The more it changes, the more it stays the same 

And boy, I'm telling you, if you wanna play the game 

The lesson's still the same 

chorus repeats 2x
