Eddie Lyrics - Cornerstone - Styx

Written by james young 

Lead vocals by james young 

I woke up today, the papers spoke of a man we know 

He's made of the stuff they say that first made our country grow 

Living in style, traveling to distant lands 

Better hang tough, for now it's time to make your stand 

Can we ignore the basic facts of history 

Or deny what people say is destiny 

I think the message is ever so loud and clear 

Eddie, now don't you run 

You know you're a bootlegger's son 

And you saw just what it's done to the others 

Eddie, now don't you run 

It's the end of all your fun 

And you saw just what they've done 

To your brothers 

Can we ignore the basic facts of history 

Or deny what people say is destiny 

First in the eighties but last of the sons 

First in the eyes of his countrymen 

I think the message is ever so loud and clear
