The dust had barely settled,
He had the taste of metal and gunpowder in his mouth,
He rolled over to his buddy,
Both of them were bloody,
But from the looks of things theyd both make it out,
Grabbed him by the shoulder, said I guess well live to fight another day again,
Come on man.
Sometimes this life aint easy,
Sometimes life aint fair,
More than once it felt like you didnt have a prayer,
And thats when you wanna ask the lord to help you understand,
And say Come on man
Pulled a 20 from his pocket,
Said dont worry I got it, as that barkeep poured another round,
Hed been laid off since last Christmas, said man if I dont get this,
Job then my last choice is going down,
Standing in the that welfare line, if my dad were still alive,
Hed say. Son you still got those 2 hands,
Come on man.
Sometimes this life aint easy,
Sometimes life aint fair,
More than once it felt like you didnt have a prayer,
And thats when you wanna ask the lord to help you understand,
And say Come on man
When I finally cross over, walk through those fields of clover,
Thats when I hope Ill hear him say,
I never said itd be easy,
Never said itd be fair,
But every time you hit your knees I heard your every prayer,
Now its all behind you, son your in the promise land,
Welcome home, Come on man.
