Pearls

Wave your flag so everybody can see it Blow your horn and let em' know you've arrived Stand up tall there ain't no way they can miss you Tip your hat and keep a wink in your eye

Looking good sharp enough to draw blood Go on and get em like you said you would

Throw your pearls to the swine behind you They'll all wave at you on your way down There's so many that have come before you Somebody lost every pearl you found

Whatever it is that boy's got it Never seen nothing like it before He's like a cross between this one and that one I'm here to tell you my jaw hit the floor

I'm bad with names but remember a face Stick with me son we'll run this place

Some fall so hard they shatter How can you know how to lose I may not have the pearls of wisdom All I got's the beautiful truth
