Every Man's Got a Mountain Lyrics

It ain't easy, the road of life, it ain't easy
It don't matter if you're black or white
Nobody rides for freeWell, believe me, life is a bitter-sweet journey
And everybody that starts out in the cradle
Still ends up in the graveEvery man's got a mountain to climb
He's got his own cross to bear
Well, everyday is just another step you take
On the road that takes you there
On the road that takes you thereWell, you might be a rich kid livin' on milk and honey
Livin' off your daddy's money
But money ain't everythin'Can't buy forgiveness, it sure can't buy salvation
But it can numb your senses
And tarnish your golden ringsEvery man's got a mountain to climb
He's got his own cross to bear
Well, everyday is just another step you take
On the road that takes you there
On the road that takes you thereYou can have nothin' and still have it all
Be a blind man and still see

You can be locked up in a cell
But your heart can still be free
(Your heart can still be free)It ain't easy, the road of life, it ain't easy
Everybody's got a cross to bear
On the road that takes you there
(Oh, take me there)You can have nothin' and still have it all
Be a blind man and still see
You can be locked up in a cell
But your heart can still be free
(Your heart can still be free)It ain't easy, the road of life, it ain't easy
Everybody's got a cross to bear
On the road that takes you there
Yeah, everybody's got a cross to bear
On the road that takes you there
