Still Climbing

Mama sometimes i feel inside
There's nothing i can say
Nothing i can do
Could ever match the love you gave
You taught me how to live
Told me walk before you run
And you were always there to pick me up
Everytime i'd have a fall

And mama i know there's been times
When i didn't always understrand
By and by we do some growing up
And it makes just a little more sense
But sometimes it's hard to find the words
But i'll do the best that i can
Thank you for the love mama
It's what made this boy a man

I know the road's been long
And i know you've seen some rain
Making the best of what we had
I never heard you complain
When i look in the mirror today
Wondering could i be as strong
Could i give as much to someone else
As you gave to your son

And mama i know there's been times
When we didn't see eye to eye
By and by we do some growing up
And we understand the reasons why
But sometimes it's hard to find the words
But i'll do the best i can
Thank you for the love mama
It's what made this boy a man, yea

Many years have gone by
And i've been living them the best i can

And mama i know there's been times
When i didn't always understand
By and by we do some growing up
And it makes just a little more sense
But sometimes it's hard to find the words
But i'll do the best i can
Thank you for the love mama
It's what made this boy a man, yea

You say i get around but
I'm gonna hit the ground
I don't hear a word you're sayin'
Going out of my head and
The world's turnin' red
Don't think i'll be stayin'
You got your fancy pants now
Wear 'em to the dance
All i got is what i'm playin'
But the trouble with you is there ain't just a few
Don't take the ride unless you're payin'

Like a hot burnin' fire
Blazin' out of control
I couldn't get much higher, i'm

Freewheelin
Nothin' gets in my way
When i'm freewheelin
I'm free yea

Take a look around cause it's all fallin' down
Fallin' from the dream that we created
I'm lookin' up at the sky and i'm wondering why
Why it's all deflated
You got a million and one ways to have fun
Everything i've done is over-rated
So take a step back cause i don't need the flack
I can see your promises a fadin'

Like a hot burnin' fire
Blazin' out of control
I couldn't get much higher, i'm

Freewheelin
Nothin' gets in my way
When i'm freewheelin
I'm free yea

Like a hot burnin' fire
Blazin' out of control
I couldn't get much higher, i'm

Freewheelin
Nothin' gets in my way
When i'm freewheelin
I'm free yea

Freewheelin
Nothing get in my way
When i'm freewheelin
I'm free yea

Freewheelin
When i'm freewheelin
I'm free yea

Everybody thinks it's so easy
Everybody thinks it's so fine
But everytime i get a little closer to the top
I find myself at the end of the line

You take a slow ride up
And a fast one down
Nothin's gonna stop you spinnin' round and round and round

Everybody's talkin' at me
But nothin's soundin' right
They say my future's lookin' brighter
But i don't see no light
I got a bottle of hurricane
It gets me high as a kite
Now the rain's pissin' down
And the storm is in sight
When the shit hits the fan
You gotta stick to the fight

Everybody says the world owes me
Everybody wants a free ride
Well let me tell ya mister
If you never raise a blister
Then you might as well have laid down and died

Cause you ain't gettin' out what you don't put in
You're never gonna make it if your head is in a spin

Everybody's talkin' at me
But nothin's soundin' right
They say my future's lookin' brighter
But i don't see no light
I got a bottle of hurricane
It gets me high as a kite
Now the rain's pissin' down
And the storm is in sight
When the shit hits the fan
You gotta stick to the fight

Can you feel the heat, yea
Comin' down on you
When it all comes down
When it all comes down watcha gonna do
Feel it comin' down on you now
When it all comes down
When it all comes down
When it all comes down
When it all comes down

Ooo, yea
When it all comes down
Can ya feel it, feel it, feel it comin' down on you, yea
Can ya stick to the fight when the heat's comin' down on you
When it all comes down
Ah, take me
When it all comes down
When it all comes down, yea

I'm running free
But i ain't got no time to fly
And i can see
But tomorrow maybe i'll be blind
I met a man with a cup
Looking pretty beat up
He stared straight into my eyes
He said today you may be rich
But tomorrow you'll be poor
And the next day you could die

I said it's easy come
And it's easy go
Don't go cryin' on my shoulder
Cause i won and lost more than you could know
I always find a way
To make it through another day
Cause when all you got's your pride
Ain't nobody gonna take it away

I'm movin' fast
Always feelin' two steps behind
Forget the past
If it's the only way to ease my mind
Some fortune telling lady
With her face a little crazy
Stared straight into my eyes
She said i'd love to help you son
But this one you can't out run
I sure as hell can give it a try

Cause it's easy come
And it's easy go
Don't go cryin' on my shoulder
Cause i won and lost more than you could know
I always find a way
To make it through another day
Cause when all you got's your pride
Ain't nobody gonna take it away

Take it one breath at a time
Cause we're all just walking the line
I'll be doin' just fine
When tomorrow's out of sight and out of mind

Cause it's easy come
And it's easy go
Don't go cryin' on my shoulder
Cause i won and lost more than you could know
I always find a way
To make it through another day
Cause when all you got's your pride
Ain't nobody gonna take it away, yea
Cause it's easy come
And it's easy go

Well i've been walkin'
Down a one way dirty street
Tryin' to find the answers
And i've been hopin'
For a chance to meet
The rat that spread the cancer

And the lies they've been spinnin'
And the smiles they've been grinnin'
There sure has been some sinnin'
But nobody's winnin'
When the walls start to crumblin'
You feel like you're stumblin'
And nobody wants you when you're down

They took the boy from the city
But they can't take the city from the
Boy's lookin' pretty
Now he's lookin' like a pity
Cut the flesh down to the bone
But you can't get
You can't get blood from a stone
You can't get blood from a stone

Well i'm a rollin'
But my train's gone off the tracks
And my wheels are spinnin'
And i'm a walkin'
Down a one way dirty street
But my heart's not sinkin'

From the love they've been buyin'
And the blues they've been cryin'
Now the time keeps a flyin'
But nobody's tryin'
Cause the love of the money
Didn't turn out so sunny
When the well's dry
No one comes around

They took the boy from the city
But they can't take the city from the
Boy's lookin' pretty
Now he's lookin' like a pity
Cut the flesh down to the bone
But you can't get
You can't get blood from a stone

You can try
But i still got the fight in my eyes
Suck it dry
Cause i've had about enough of your lies

They took the boy from the city
But they can't take the city from the
Boy's lookin' pretty
Now he's lookin' like a pity
Cut the flesh down to the bone
But you can't get blood from a stone

They took the boy from the city
But they can't take the city from the
Boy's lookin' pretty
Now he's lookin' like a pity
Cut the flesh down to the bone
But you can't get
You can't get blood from a stone, no

You can't get blood from a stone
You can't get blood from a stone
You can't get blood from a stone
You can't get blood from a stone
You can't get blood from a stone
