Dave Neufeld Take Us All Lyrics

Take Us All Lyrics

I'm just another common man with my back against the wall 

I've been alive
for 40 odd years, I've seen a dozen free-birds fall 

I read about the
tragedies, pin the articles to my wall 

If your gonna take the good ones,
Lord, 

You might as well take us all. 



I've always been a
rock and roll fan, I love that southern bluesy touch 

When Duane went
down, he was riding free, I thought, that'd be enough 

Then Ronnie was
gone, a legend moves on and the boys still carry his songs 

Then on a
foggy night on a mountain side, 

There went Stevie Ray Vaughn. 



Leave em' alone--can't you see now, they're the only hope we know. 

They're our fantasies, our pride, and our dreams while our backs are on the
wall. 

Oh, it's hard enough to live this life, and stand up straight and
tall. 

If your gonna pick and choose through the good ones, Lord, 

You might as well take us all. 



Yeah, if your gonna pick and
choose through the good ones, Lord, 

You might as well take us all.
