You Know Who You Are
Well I been carrying this load,
For too long now,
Time to put my baggage down,
And I paid back what I owed
To the Man Downstairs
He said, “We can work it out somehow”
And I Said, “ Wait a minute, Mister,
Take a message to my sister,
Let her know I’m doin’ fine now,”
I told 'em all to screw it
Now it’s time to do it,
Take it to the end of the line now,
I’ve Ridden through the rumbles
Took my share of tumbles
Wonder how I got this far
Cheated by the cheaters
Beated by the beaters
Thanks for makin’ life so hard
And you know who you are.
You know It’s been a long crusade
To get me here
Man, it’s been the roughest ride
But the courage I’ve displayed
To keep my cool
Has built a better man inside
I said It’s all good for the music
Let me have it I can use it
Hit me with your hardest shot, now
Watch me turn it into somethin’
While you’re standing there with nothin’
Take a look at what I got, now
I’ve Ridden through the rumbles
Took my share of tumbles
Wonder how I got this far
Cheated by the cheaters
Beated by the beaters
Thanks for makin’ life so hard
And you know who you are,
And you know who you are.
And after twenty years of drinkin’,
I finally started thinkin’,
How long is this gonna last?
Tired of slowly sinkin’,
Time to put it in the past,
Put it in the past.
(Harmonica)
I’ve ridden through the rumbles
Took my share of tumbles
Wonder how I got this far
Cheated by the cheaters
Beated by the beaters
Thanks for makin’ life so hard
And you know who you are,
Ridden through the rumbles
Took my share of tumbles
Wonder how I got this far
Cheated by the cheaters
Beated by the beaters
Thanks for makin’ life so hard
And you know who you are,
And you know who you are,
And you know who you are,
And you know who you are.
