Take It on the Chin - William Elliott Whitmore

I don’t want you to know the pain I’ve known

A man should not have to walk his row alone

Of all the things in life, count on one

I’ll always be behind you son

He said life is a gamble

And before you throw them dice

If it’s more than you can handle

Please take this advice

He said stand your ground and don’t back down, that’s the only way to win

When life throws a punch son, you’ve got to take it on the chin

I don’t want you see the things I saw

This old world can be so cruel after all

Of all the things in life cound on one

I’ll always be behind you son

He said life is a battle and it ain’t even fair

But if you stay up in your saddle

You’re already halfway there

He said stand your ground and don’t back down

That’s the only way to win

When time throws you a punch son

You’ve got it take it on the chin
