The Laugh Of Recognition - Over the Rhine

Come on boys

It’s time to settle down

What do you think you’ll gain

From all this runnin' around?

Come on boys

It’s time to let it go Everybody has a dream

That they will never own

Come on boys

It’s time to let her down

You might be surprised

How far she’ll get

With her feet on the ground

So come on boys

Every night we always

Led the pack

There and back

And we never could do anything half

Oh you have to laugh

You just gotta laugh

So come on boys

It weren’t not for tryin'

It’s called the laugh of recognition

When you laugh but you feel like dyin'

Come on boys

Now don’t be shy

If we gotta walk away

We gotta hold our heads up high

You’re not the first one to start again

Come on now friends

There is something to be said for tenacity

I’ll hold on to you

If you hold on to me

Come on boys
