jason boland & the stragglers - stand up to the man lyrics

Loading...

[verse 1]
i hear people talkin’
’bout the line that i’m walkin’
how it won’t lead to the palace of the wise
they’re the ones that say they love you
but try to stay above you
they’ll twist your arm and make you tell ’em lies

[verse 2]
but to me it’s a game of blackjack
go on and take a step back
hold your breath and let that money ride
’cause the dealer, he’s got twenty
and you’ll bust if you take any
so it never was for you to decide

[chorus]
just put your chips out on the table
beat ’em when you’re able to
and if you hit rock bottom
smoke ’em if ya got ’em
at least you know you played a hand
and you can stand up to the man

[verse 3]
i don’t see the reason
for the politics and treason
we’re ridin’ the same rail that’ll take us home
and the world is just a boxcar
with preachers next to rock stars
it’ll take you anywhere you need to roam

[verse 4]
ask about the gamblin’
interrupt their ramblin’
make your way to the back of the train
cast your bread out on the water
you good sons and daughters
and you don’t need a reason to explain

[chorus]
just put your chips out on the table
beat ’em when you’re able to
and if you hit rock bottom
smoke ’em if ya got ’em
at least you know you played a hand
and you can stand up to the man

[instrumental]
[chorus]
just put your chips out on the table
beat ’em when you’re able to
and if you hit rock bottom
smoke ’em if ya got ’em
at least you know you played a hand
and you can stand up to the man
yeah stand up to the man
