(allen collins -- ronnie vanzant)

Well Ive 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, hes wrong

(chorus)
Every mothers son better hear what I say
Every mothers son will rise and fall someday

Ive seen it happen so many times, so many times before
Some man got so much money he doesnt worry no more
Or hes got such a pretty woman thatll treat him fine
Well my friend has been a fool
It happens everytime

(chorus)

Im not tryin to preach to no one, to no one at all
Ive 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 mothers son will rise and fall someday
