Phillip MitchellThe Same Folks Lyrics
[Intro]
Do-do-do-do-doo, do-ooh-ooh
Do-do-do-do-doo, ooh-ahh
[Chorus]
The same folks, that put where you are today
Tomorrow, they just might take it away
The same folks, that put where you are today
Tomorrow, they just might take it away, yeah
[Verse 1]
People don't stop to think about, how they got where they are
They're two kids living a good life, playing the role of a movie star, yeah
They ain't got time to understand, they're too busy seeking glory
When a poor man needs a helping hand they call it a hard luck story, yeah
[Chorus]
The same folks, that put where you are today
Tomorrow, they just might take it away, yeah
You know the same folks, that put where you are today
Tomorrow, they just might take it away
[Verse 2]
You might be rich and wealthy, and got money to burn, ah yeah now
Just remember it's those little wheels that make the big wheels turn
You may be big and famous, yeah, yeah, and [?] now
But just remember that what goes up (someday must come down)
Do-do-do-do-doo, do-ooh-ooh
Do-do-do-do-doo, ooh-ahh
[Chorus]
The same folks, that put where you are today
Tomorrow, they just might take it away, yeah
You know the same folks, that put where you are today
Tomorrow, they just might take it away, oh!
[Outro]
The same folks, (The same folks) that put where you are today
Tomorrow, they just might take it away, yeah, yeah
You know the same folks, (Same folks) that put where you are today
