Bend But Don't Break Lyrics - No Justice

Written by: George DeVore 

Bend but dont break give before you take 

Always look em right in the eye 

These are words to live by 

Jim proposed to Sue she said I do 

they eloped into a summers night 

Heading for Loredo thats the way wind blew 

They got in their first real fight 

Standing at the alter shoes and her halter 

Jim sweating out his Sunday best 

Looking all around them but nobody found them 

And this is what the preacher said 

Chorus: 

Bend but dont break give before you take 

Always look em right in the eye 

Always have a reason dress right for the season 

Never cheat and never lie 

These are words to live by 

Billys washing dishes and all the time he wishes he could find a better way 

Yea and no season had rain for a country singer bound for a life of that fortune and fame 

He wrote a couple songs and they got a long into the hands of a bad Nashville man 

playin on the radio and he aint never seen no doe 

looks back down at them ugly pots and pans 

Repeat Chorus 

Bridge: 

You know times in our life are nervous and reckless, sometimes its hard just to get by 

Aint it good to know that we can still grow So gimme one word and tell me one time 

Always me and mother and never were no other Daddy died when I was just three 

Always understood that she did the best she could I needed someone right there Momma would be 

I never thought twice to ask for advice when I got crazy in my head 

What ever the cause she would slowly pause And this is what Momma said 

Repeat Chorus
