Intro: D Am
N.C. Am
If you?ve got the will, oh, don?t sit still
G Am
Just ride that thrill right up the hill
Before you?re dead, when the weak have fled
G N.C. Am
Or you will tread the rough road ahead
verse 1
The half-hearted getter and the faint-hearted quitter
G Am
Both sit in the gutter and both agree
They moan and they mutter and utter so bitter
D
So double-dipped down, they?ll never get free
verse 2
Am
Locked out, knocked out, feet up like a beat pup
G Am
Ride to your ruin in an old rockin? chair
Rock till you?re clocked out, eat your defeat up
G Am
Slide some more glue in, ?cause you ain?t got a prayer
N.C. Am
If you?ve got the will, oh, don?t sit still
G Am
Just ride that thrill right up the hill
Before you?re dead, when the weak have fled
G N.C. D
Or you will tread the rough road ahead
verse 3
Am
Don?t let the dawn?s light break upon a lost fight
G Am
You gotta get freed from life?s stampede
Goin? on, on and on, going, going, going, gone
D
Gotta take the lead at breakneck speed
verse 4
Am
Zig-zag a tail spinner, don?t brag before dinner
G Am
Last to the last and show what you know
Not a rag-tag beginner, but an in-the-bag winner
G Am
Goin? too fast and can?t find slow
N.C. Am
If you?ve got the will, oh, don?t sit still
G Am
Just ride that thrill right up the hill
Before you?re dead, when the weak have fled
G N.C. Am
Or you will tread the rough road ahead
