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…
I know you've got your reasons why you do the things you do.
We've 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.
You can 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.
You got nothing to lose.
You got nothing to prove.
You just go on home. Just come on home.
