(Allen Collins -- Ronnie VanZant)

Well I ve been ridin a winning horse for a longlong 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 doeshe 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 timesso 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 everytime

(chorus)

I m not tryin to preach to no oneto 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 foolsit happens every time

(chorus)


What I say
(chorus)


What I say
Ohevery mother s son will rise and fall someday
