Can't Take That Away
Lynyrd Skynyrd

(johnny van zant, robert johnson, michael lunn)


What can they all be thinkin'

Wanna' take the cross off of the hill

Put away the pledge of allegience

Lord,just the thought gives me a chill

They can take God off our money but, in the end 'o ain't it funny

How were all gonna see him on the judgement day

So sing it loud


(chorus)

One more time

Hear what you say

When you got the truth inside, now they can't take that away

One more time

'cause it ain't too late

Hold on to what you believe 'cause thay can't take that

They can't take that away


They want to change somethin' somewhere for everybody

Right now a change ain't what we need

Just like my father's father before him

They held on with pride to everything they believed

They can take God off our money but, in the end 'o ain't it funny

How were all gonna see him on the judgement day


(repeat chorus)


There's a fire that burns forever

Come a day we ain't gonna take no more


(repeat chorus)
