Somebody told me a long time ago Don't leave your feet get caught out in the cold driving snow Don't let them tell you, son, that you're a fool Just 'cause you didn't learn it all, learn it all in school Somebody told me yesterday Don't let those dreams fade away Don't let them tell you, son, that you're a fool Just 'cause you didn't learn it all, learn it all in school When you're walking down the wrong road again Walking down the wrong road again One man's mother, she's standing at the altar One man's brother, he's drinking down his holy water Mother, don't you cry Don't you cry on this golden night If you may or if you might Somebody's gonna cry When you're walking down the wrong road again Walking down the wrong road again And she cried all night long Didn't make it right or make it wrong Somebody's gonna fly Somebody's gonna cry One man stands behind a fence Another man stands behind a tree One man sits behind his golden desk Pushing his thoughts over on me Over on me... Mother, don't you cry Don't you cry on this golden night If you may or if you might Somebody's gonna cry When you're walking down that wrong road again Walking down that wrong road again Walking down the wrong road again Walking down the wrong road
