John Gay - While You Can Lyrics

There's a thousand ways of chasing after money
And refusing to take His hand
But there's nothing like wild mountain honey
Better get some while you can
I tell you man don't be unaware of that master plan
They only want to put shackles on your hands
Cut on through the thicket and look at that thorny crown
Coming out the ground
Lay down all your burdens by the riverside
Keep your front porch light burnin bright
Don't let your head hang low for another mile
Let your words be few and don't forget to smile
I've got a secret place under the laurels
Way on up the creek
Head out in the spring with my dogs
Won't be back for a week
I tell you man don't be unaware of that master plan
They only want to put shackles on your hands
Cut on through the thicket and look at that thorny crown
Coming out the ground
(If you can see it now!)
Lay down all your burdens by the riverside
Keep your front porch light burnin bright
Don't let your head hang low for another mile
Let your words be few and don't forget to smile
Say hello to what lies ahead
Say goodbye to what lies behind
Lay down all your burdens by the riverside
Keep your front porch light burnin bright
Don't let your head hang low for another mile
Let your words be few and don't forget to smile
Lay down all your burdens by the riverside
Keep your front porch light burnin bright
Don't let your head hang low for another mile
Let your words be few and don't forget to smile
