Mario Your Own Way To Paradise Lyrics

Mario Your Own Way To Paradise lyrics

Mario was a halfbreed man, he used to make out, he was poor

Mario's mum had him under her gun, 'cos her white side did him more

Torn between two loyalties, leaving dad alone at home

Torn between two loyalties, leaving dad alone at home



 Chorus:

There's only one thing I say, you've got to live day by day

You got to find your own way to throw the dice

You got to prove that you're tough, to take the smooth with the rough

There's only one way you'll get to paradise



Mario and his mother ran so far, so far away

Daddy got out his shotgun and went to hunt them the very next day

Finally caught up with them, said "I'm gonna shoot you down, my boy"

Mother said, "No, don't do that, pa, you're gonna kill my only joy"

Anger flew and shot in two, their only son, their little boy

Anger flew and shot in two, their only son, their little boy



chorus repeats 4x



There's only one thing I say, you got to find your own way to throw the dice

There's only one thing I say, you got to find your own way to paradise
