The Graveltones - Dying On Your Feet

Talkin' like old friends
We're gonna get along
No need to pretend
Just tell it like you want it told
Hanging on loose ends
Everybody's got a cross to bare
You wanna bleed for your sins
Don't be living on a nightly prayer

Don't bother begging no more don't want your bad luck to spill on me
I'm counting two times swinging at the mercy of man and you're raining down a spell on me

I got the right solution
Put a man's mind at ease
Better dying on your feet
Than living on your knees

Talkin' like old friends
Everybody's got a different plan
You wanna owe what you spend?
Then don't go betting on another's hand
Honey stand on your tongue
And tell me what you need to know
I'll put a saddle on the wind
To get to where we need to go

Well you've been picking at straws and telling everybody what you think
I'm counting three times shaking but it could be more because you're raining down a spell on me

I got the right solution
To put a man's mind at ease
Better dying on your feet
Than living on your knees

Talkin' like old friends
We're gonna get along
No need to pretend
Just tell it like you want it told
