Carlon - Red Rover lyrics

7 Red Rover Written by Ryan McGlynn and Michael McWilliams Old folks have paved the way So here we go around again Throwing hatchets at their lovers Pulling rabbits from their hats So we could live like they did when Hands holding up your name Make a chain of everyone you know Red Rover, Red Rover send a good spirit over Reap hope out of what they sow Storytelling over and over Send a warning out and make it know. Days are shorter as they make you older And every year has got a mind of its own Battle of the generations Civil wars leaving shattered homes The envy of expectation Versus the need to make a past alone Hands holding up your name Make a chain of everyone you know Red Rover, Red Rover send a good spirit over Reap hope out of what they sow Reap hope out of what they sow Arrested on the side of blame Aiming down your number one Sob like you mean it when you confess “I'm too good for the bad I've done” Hands holding up your name Make a chain of everyone you know Red Rover, Red Rover send a good spirit over Reap hope out of what they sow Take a life in your hands Form a line, make a stand Say, “Red Rover, we don't break anymore” Hands holding up your name Make a chain of everyone you know Red Rover, Red Rover send a good spirit over Reap hope out of what they sow
