Текст The Marshall Tucker Band – Pass It On

Have you ever sat down with an old man and let him speak his mind?
I’m sure he’d say, «Thank you» and appreciate the time
I’m sure you’d hear, Lord, between them ears
A few things that you wanted to know for a long time

‘Cause there’s more to grey hair than old bones
A whole lot more between them calloused ears than remembering old songs
So when he tells you somethin’, pass it on

Now I’m just like an old ropin’ horse
Lord, you know the only course
Is where a cowboy reins him and throws his head
And this life that I been livin’
Lord, it keeps on givin’ me
What I deserve, to Hell with where I go when I’m dead

‘Cause there’s more to grey hair than old bones
A whole lot more between them calloused ears than remembering old songs
When he tells you somethin’, pass it on

If the Devil ever gets on my back
He’d better not cut me no slack
Gonna look him eye to eye and I’m gonna grin
If there’s a toll gate in Hell
Mister, you might as well go ahead
And loan me enough money to get in

‘Cause there’s more to grey hair than old bones
A whole lot more between them calloused ears than remembering old songs
So when he tells you somethin’, pass it on
Pass it on
Pass it on
Pass it on
Pass it on
Pass it on
