Tell me the truth
how do you feel
Like you're rollin' so fast
that you're spinnin' your wheels
Don't feel too bad
you're not all along
We're all tryin' to get along
With ev'rybody
else try'n' to go their way
You're bound to get tripped
and what can you say
Just go along
'til they turn out the lights
There's nothin'
we can do to fight it
No man's got it made
till he's far beyond the pain
And we who must remain go on
living just the same
I once knew a man
very talented guy
He's sing for the people
and people would cry
They knew that his song came
from deep down inside
You could hear it in his voice
and see it in his eyes
And so he traveled along
touch your heart then be gone
Like a flower he bloomed
till that old hickory wind
Called him home
My man's got it made
He's gone far beyond the pain
And we who must remain go on
living just the same
My man's got it made
He's gone far beyond the pain
And we who must remain go on
living just the same
We who must remain go on
laughing just the same
