"The Laugh Of Recognition" lyrics

"The Laugh Of Recognition"

Come on, boys
It's time to settle down
What you think you'll gain
From all this runnin' around?
Come on, boys
It's time to let it go
Everybody has a dream
That they will never own
Come on, boys
It's time to let her down
You might be surprised how far she'll get
With her feet on the ground
So come on, boys

Every night we always
Led the pack
There and back
And we never could do anything half
Ah, you have to laugh
You just gotta laugh

So come on, boys
Hey, why not for tryin'?
It's called the laugh of recognition
When you laugh but you feel like dyin'
Come on, boys
Now don't be shy
If we gotta walk away
We gotta hold our heads up high

You're not the first one to start again
Come on now, friends
There is something to be said for tenacity
I'll hold on to you
If you hold on to me

So come on, boys
Come on, boys
Ooh, come on
Come on now, boys
Come on now, boys
Ooh, come on
Come on, come on
Ooh, come on now, boys
