And the vultures are circling above your head
Just watching it all
Waiting for you to make one mistake
So they can watch you fall

So you better find someone to love
And make sure they know you do
Because you either bend with the breeze
Or let it break you

And your daddy had a house up in Harriman
Off the interstate
And when your mama got sick
Fate stepped in and changed everything

Now I’ve seen fires and floods and car wrecks
Where no one survived
But I ain’t never seen fear like I did
When I looked into a broken man’s eyes

So you better grab a hold of something
And let it pull you through
Because you either bend with the breeze
Or let it break you

So run honey run as fast as you can
Because it’s a mean old world
But luck honey luck is always on the side
Of a pretty girl

So hold your head up and don’t you ever
Be ashamed to cry
And never forget how lucky you are
Just to be alive

So you better find someone to love
And make sure they know you do
Because you either bend with the breeze
Or let it break you
