Hang Your Head High
Written by Gerry Beckley, ©2006
Found on Happy Hour, Five Mile Road and Keeping The Light On

You're down on the ground
You're up in the air
It doesn't seem to matter
You just don't care
You're down in the dirt
Or up in the skies
A-all you can do is hang your head high

Oooo yeah yeah
Hey hang your head high
Oooo yeah yeah

You've run out of time
You've run out of cash
You're busting your brain
You're busting your ass
You leap in the air
You think you can fly
You fall to the earth
But hang your head high

Ooooooo yeah yeah
Hey hang your head high
Ooooooo yeah yeah

It's so sad, it's oh so sad
Counting on a love that you think you had
It's so sad, it's oh so sad
Watching everything turn from good to bad

Ooooo yeah yeah
Hang it up hang it up
Ooooo yeah yeah

I once met a girl with diamonds for eyes
She looked at me once I was hypnotized
It's over so fast
You don't realize
That all you can do is hang your head high

Oooo yeah yeah
Hey hang your head high
Ooooo yeah yeah

Oooo yeah yeah
Hey hang your head high
Ooooo yeah yeah
Hang it up hang it up

Yeah yeah
Hang your head high
