[Verse 1]
Ever since I was a young boy
Before I'd ever know who I am
My father said, "You gotta walk before you can crawl
So you can run as soon as you can stand
So you can run as soon as you can"
[Verse 2]
Now if every breathin' day is a lesson
I been writin' this before I could read
When mama said, "Son, don't let this hard world
Do what it's doin' to me
Don't let it do what it's done to me"
[Pre-Chorus]
It's a hard rain that's gonna fall on the city
Still a hard rain that's gonna fall on the farm
[Chorus]
There's no seventh day in a world without pity
There's no ball and chain, but the change didn't come
Where's my better days? Where's my Jesus saves?
Where's someone to say
"We gotta hang on"?
We're brothers in arms
[Verse 3]
Down in southern Alabama
It's "yes sir", "no ma'am", "thank you", and "please"
But don't you step outta line, don't rewrite or define
What it means to see a man take a knee
Okay, oh, say can you see
[Pre-Chorus]
It's a hard rain that's gonna fall on the city
Still a hard rain that's gonna fall on the farm
[Chorus]
There's no seventh day in a world without pity
There's no ball and chain, but the change didn't come
Where's my better days? Where's my Jesus saves?
Where's someone to say
"We gotta hang on"?
We're brothers in arms
We're brothers in arms
[Pre-Chorus]
It's a hard rain that's gonna fall on the city
Still a hard rain that's gonna fall on the farm
It's a hard rain that's gonna fall on the city
Still a hard rain, don't give a damn who you are
[Chorus]
There's no seventh day in a world without pity
There's no ball and chain, but the change didn't come
Where's my better days? Where's my Jesus saves?
Where's someone to say
"We gotta hang on"?
We're brothers in arms
We're brothers in arms
Ever since I was a young boy
Before I'd ever know who I am
My father said, "You gotta walk before you can crawl
So you can run as soon as you can stand
So you can run as soon as you can"
