On Your Feet

         E
it’s the men

At your side
                         B
When you face the firing line

It’s the chill

In the air
                            E
Just before the great horns blare

It’s the escape

You dig the most
                              B
And the friends who patiently stand at their post

It’s the general

 And his call
                      E
Before the alarm goes off

                                                         A               E
It’s the feeling that there’s something greater than the sun and all its heat
           B
That’s the way
         A
That you stay
        A
On your Feet

         E
It’s the horse

The first that you see
                        B
After miles of road and miles of sea

It’s the one

That takes you in
                                       E
That you have to reimburse when you’re standing again

It’s the life

You should acquire
                                B
And the boredom that makes that tough to try

It’s the party

You’ll have to throw
                          E
To make your appreciation known

                                           A              E
It’s the sound of something loud enough to keep awake the streets
           B
That’s the way
         A
That you stay
        E
On your feet


It’s the likes

After your yard
                           B
That suggest you won’t get far

It’s the calm

And all that brings
                         E
Just before the doorbell rings

It’s the place

You got to go
                                                    B
But they’re surrounding your car your bike and your boat

Don’t fear

Your place is good
                     E
You can get there on foot
                                                          A                   E
It’s the thinkin’ that is going to be the victor when the sides of your brain compete
           B
That’s the way
         A
That you stay
        E
On your feet
