It's on you, pick and choose where you want to go in life

No one said that the road would be paved all smooth and nice

If you wanna be a lawyer or just lay around all day

Don't be jealous of the fellas who want to go all the way

After all you're only sellin' (Sellin') nobody but yourself

In the end, you have to answer to yourself and no one else

And everyman, I said, has to carry his own weight

Yes sir, yes he does y'all

(Oh yeah, oh yeah)

Oh yes he does, yes he does, yes he does y'all

(Everyman has to carry his own weight) Got to carry, got to take it

(Oh yeah, oh yeah)

Got to make it, got to bear it, got to take it y'all now

Everyman has a cross only he has to bear

If he's lost, that's the cost for not planning' way ahead

We were all born with the tools, so let's put them all to use

One day we may all have problems but complainin' just won't solve 'em

One day we could be on top (Top) and the next day, you could drop

So no matter what you do, all the weight is left on you

Singin' everyman, said, has to carry his own weight

Yes he does y'all, oh yes he does, yes he does

(Oh yeah, oh yeah)

Singin' everyman (Has to carry his own weight) gots to take it, gots to make it

Gots to bear the pain, yes sir, oh

(Oh yeah, oh yeah)

Oh, after all you're only sellin' (Sellin') nobody but yourself

In the end, you'll have to answer to yourself and no one else

Singin' everyman, said, has got to carry his own weight

My my, oh yes he does y'all

(Oh yeah, oh yeah)

Oh yes he does, yes he does, singin'

Everyman y'all, said, has got to carry (His own weight)

Gots to take it, gots to bear it, gots to make it

Yes sir

(Oh yeah, oh yeah)

Everyman y'all, said, has got to carry (His own weight), gots to take it y'all

(Oh yeah, oh yeah)

Oh yeah

(Everyman has to carry his own weight) Said he gots to take it

Gots to bear it, got the choice to take his load, no, no

(Oh yeah, oh yeah)

(Everyman has to carry his own weight) Said he gots to take it

Gots to have the strength, take the pain

(Oh yeah, oh yeah) Yes sir

Spread the love

He said he had to bear his own weight, y'all

Now my brother, my brother, my brother

My brother was down and out

He said, "Can you help me? Can you take, can you, can you take

Take, take the load?"

I said, "No

Everyman got to make his own stand", yes he does
