Intro: N.C. If you’ve got the will, oh, don’t sit still Just ride that thrill right up the hill Before you’re dead, when the weak have fled Or you will tread the rough road ahead verse 1 The half-hearted getter and the faint-hearted quitter Both sit in the gutter and both agree They moan and they mutter and utter so bitter So double-dipped down, they’ll never get free verse 2 Locked out, knocked out, feet up like a beat pup Ride to your ruin in an old rockin’ chair Rock till you’re clocked out, eat your defeat up Slide some more glue in, ‘cause you ain’t got a prayer N.C. If you’ve got the will, oh, don’t sit still Just ride that thrill right up the hill Before you’re dead, when the weak have fled Or you will tread the rough road ahead verse 3 Don’t let the dawn’s light break upon a lost fight You gotta get freed from life’s stampede Goin’ on, on and on, going, going, going, gone Gotta take the lead at breakneck speed verse 4 Zig-zag a tail spinner, don’t brag before dinner Last to the last and show what you know Not a rag-tag beginner, but an in-the-bag winner Goin’ too fast and can’t find slow N.C. If you’ve got the will, oh, don’t sit still Just ride that thrill right up the hill Before you’re dead, when the weak have fled Or you will tread the rough road ahead
