hold your fire

savoy brown

i gotta find me another place

too many people in this human race

nobody cares about his fellow man

i want to get away find a new plan

nobody tries in this neighborhood

to be somebody that is understood

it is just a game that you gotta play

you sit around and dream your whole life away

talk to me for a while

can't you see that were all trying

you may think i'm a fool

but these days it is so hard to smile

don't shoot me down

hold your fire

drive myself to an early grave

hard work and worry for each dime i save

who's to blame for the state i'm in

i play my cards but somehow i can't win

talk to me for a while

can't you see that were all trying

you may think i'm a fool

but these days it is so hard to smile

don't shoot me down

hold your fire

hold your fire

talk to me for a while

can't you see

baby that were all trying

you may think i'm a fool

but these days it is so hard to smile

don't shoot me down

hold your fire

hold your fire

hold your fire

hold your fire
