| Someone shot you down
|
| And you can feel the darkness closin' in
|
| Your dreams fading
|
| Your loved ones' faces, turning dim
|
| Then, like a buckshot through a window
|
| You can hear a voice break on through the hum
|
| As your enemy lifts his weapon
|
| You hear, «baby, pick up your gun»
|
| Oh, baby, pick up your gun
|
| I ain’t fall for no punk
|
| Oh, baby, pick up your gun
|
| You pick yourself back up, it’s —
|
| It’s time to roll on
|
| It’s time to stand up
|
| It’s time to get going
|
| It’s time to wake up
|
| It’s time to get going
|
| It’s time to get going
|
| Don’t let go
|
| The lord don’t give back no souls
|
| Ah, the lord don’t give back no souls
|
| Ah, the lord don’t give back no souls
|
| Ah, the lord don’t give back no souls
|
| Ah, the lord don’t give back no souls
|
| Ay, you plant your hand in the sand
|
| Your knees shake, and you try to stand
|
| And when you reach for that Smith & Wesson
|
| You can’t seem to grip the weapon
|
| And you’re holding your wounded gut
|
| You hear, «baby, pick up your gun»
|
| You hear, «I ain’t fall for no punk»
|
| You pick yourself back up, it’s —
|
| It’s time to roll on
|
| It’s time to stand up
|
| It’s time to get going
|
| It’s time to wake up
|
| It’s time to get going
|
| It’s time to get going
|
| Don’t let go
|
| The lord don’t give back no souls
|
| Ah, the lord don’t give back no souls
|
| Ah, the lord don’t give back no souls
|
| Ah, the lord don’t give back no souls
|
| Ah, the lord don’t give back no souls
|
| So keep your heart
|
| When getting’s hard
|
| And hope is far away
|
| And keep 'em close
|
| Whoever holds you on them harder days
|
| And when the cold’s coming
|
| And the light you thought would glow
|
| You find it doesn’t
|
| You say I ain’t ready to die, nah
|
| So go ahead come get it
|
| There’s something coursing in my spirit for ya
|
| It’s time to roll on
|
| It’s time to stand up
|
| It’s time to get going
|
| It’s time to wake up
|
| It’s time to get going
|
| It’s time to get going
|
| Don’t let go
|
| The lord don’t give back no souls |
