  • I've watched you go through changes
    That no man should face alone
    Take to heel or tame the horse
    The choice is still your own
    But arm yourself against the pain
    A wounded bird can give
    And in the end remember
    It's with you you have to live
    And in the end remember
    It's with you you have to live
    Stand your ground I think you've got
    The guts it takes to win
    But you must learn to turn the keys
    Before she'll let you in
    And understand the problems of the girl you want
    So near or you'll wear the coat of questions `til the
    Answer hat is here
    You'll wear the coat of questions `til the
    Answer hat is here
    Serenade your angel with a love song from your eyes
    Grow a little taller even though your age defies
    Feel a little smaller
    And in stature you will rise
    A hobo or a poet must kill dragons for a bride;
    And humble pie is always hard to swallow
    With your pride Writer/s: CHARLES C. PETTIGREW, EDDIE CHACON, J. FREED
