Brass Ring

Well it's time to take one ride
A little-one's trip
To the sunny-side of one's day
You know you can't go wrong

So push aside
That old freight train
Just walk on by
Even-though the light says refrain
So you yield
For all them passed goodbyes

Cause if you want that old brass ring
You've got to go and now make it gold
Don't think twice about what you need
Just go and do what you know

A broke-down ship sets sail at dawn
The sea was icy but the waves were calm
My friends
Another day is gone

Blinded by the shine of night
Well I could not see
The past standing in my light
I said, "Friend,
Won't you step aside."

Cause if you want that old brass ring
You've got to go and now make it gold
Don't think twice about what you need
Just go and do what you know

Digging through your mind
Of opportunity left behind
You she one tear
I said, "Please don't cry."

For it ain't no test
No pass nor fail
It's an educated guess
Where only time will tell
Until then,
Here's some words of advice

Cause if you want that old brass ring
You've got to go and now make it gold
Don't think twice about what you need
Just go and do what you know

Cause if you want that old brass ring
You've got to go and now make it gold
Don't think twice about what you need
Just go and do what you know
