John Conlee Pass It On
grandfather smoked and had a taste for booze
next thing you know grandaddys son did too
and when that boy had children of his own
addiction was the only seed he'd sown
pass it on
pass it down
we all leave more than a headstone in the ground
pass it on
at the end
will you leave them all your love
or all your sin
you can make it right or wrong
pass it on
he had a different name for every man
or anyone who wasnt just like him
his children use the words they heard from dad
if their not just like we are we dont like that
pass it on
pass it down
we all leave more than a headstone in the ground
pass it on
at the end will you leave them all your love or all you sin
you can make it right or wrong
pass it on
he could have left this world without a prayer
most of the fools he knew didnt care
instead he saved us all from being lost
and did it as they nailed him to the cross
pass it on
pass it down
you can teach your children he rose from the ground
pass it on
at the end will you leave them all his love or all your sin
tell em he rolled back the stone
pass it on
tell em he rollef back the stone
pass it on
