You can hang when the game gets rough
You can hang, I know you think you're tough
You can hang with the thugs and thieves
You can hang like a side of beef

But you don't know when to bail
You got to know when to bail
Just go on home

You can hang when it all gets too deep
You can hang with the slaughterhouse sheep
You can hang till the bottle's gone
Yeah, I know you can hold your own

But you don't know when to bail
You got to know when to bail
You got to throw down, get out of jail
Just go on home

Yeah, I know you got your reasons why you do the things you do
We all got something that we think we have to prove

You can hang on your old rugged cross
You can hang till you can't get off
You can hang till the fire burns cold
Yeah, go on hang out your big raw soul
You can hang with the lions and lambs
You can hang like a smokehouse ham
You can hang by your nails and toes
Or you can fall with the dominoes
Or you can go on home
Just go on home
