Twelve Notes - Put Your Money Where Your Mouth Is Lyrics

My father was a man who didn't talk much
Could build a barn, a fireplace, all kinds of stuff
His hands were like magic, he needed no words
Watching him I figured out just how life works
He showed me I could do anything I want
I've got the tools, learned the rules, I get things done
One thing he taught me really made sense
You want it bad enough? give a hundred percent

Put your money where your mouth is
When your finger's on the trigger just pull it
You won't get something when you do nothing
If it really means that much you gotta prove it
Don't talk about it, start working on it
And put your money where your mouth is
Nike said it right: "just do it!"

Best things in life come straight from the heart
But they don't just happen, so do your part
Dream all you want, that's a good place to start
With dreams alone, you won't get too far
Don't ever be afraid don't be one of those guys
Don't skip the rollercoaster for the kiddie ride, oh no

Put your money where your mouth is
When your finger's on the trigger just pull it
You won't get something when you do nothing
If it really means that much you gotta prove it
Don't talk about it, start working on it
And put your money where your mouth is
Nike said it right: "just do it!"

Put your money where your mouth is
Put your money where your mouth is
You want it bad enough? Give a hundred percent
Put your money where your mouth is
When your finger's on the trigger just pull it

You won't get something when you do nothing
If it really means that much you gotta prove it
Don't talk about it, start working on it
And put your money where your mouth is
Nike said it right: "just do it!"
