Every Mother's Son Lyrics - Gimme Back My Bullets - Lynyrd Skynyrd

Well 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 

[Chorus:] 

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 

Well my friend has been a fool 

It happens every time 

[Chorus] 

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 

Well my friends have all been fools, it happens every time 

[Chorus] 

What I say 

[Chorus] 

What I say 

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