You can hang when the game gets rough You can hang, I know you think you're tough You can hang with the thugs and thieves You can hang like a side of beef
But you don't know when to bail You got to know when to bail Just go on home
You can hang when it all gets too deep You can hang with the slaughterhouse sheep You can hang till the bottle's gone Yeah, I know you can hold your own
But you don't know when to bail You got to know when to bail You got to throw down, get out of jail Just go on home
Yeah, I know you got your reasons why you do the things you do We all got something that we think we have to prove
You can hang on your old rugged cross You can hang till you can't get off You can hang till the fire burns cold Yeah, go on hang out your big raw soul You can hang with the lions and lambs You can hang like a smokehouse ham You can hang by your nails and toes Or you can fall with the dominoes Or you can go on home Just go on home
