Well I was born on the wrong side 'a' town My momma said \'Son, don't let it bring ya down\' You gotta do whatcha can with the stuff tha ya got You gotta push! push! 'Till you get your shot
You work hard from 9-5 Tax man leaves ya just enuff to survive So when you feel like you're under the gun That's when it's time to start havin' some fun
(Chorus): Come on, come on You gotta live it up Come on, come on You gotta live it up
When the world starts bringin' ya down And you're in so deep you think you'll never get out You gotta step back, take a look at yourself You ain't gonna find it in a wishing well
You play hard, you play to win Sooner or later, you gotta give in Cause you don't get nothin' for free But here's a little lesson you can take from me
(Chorus) You play hard, you play to win Sooner or later, you gotta give in Cause you don't get nothin' for free But here's a little lesson you can take from me
