Gideon's Survival

GIDEON'S SURVIVAL - Written by Carroll Bryant

You can't stop trouble when it's coming after you

Roll with some punches

Pop some balloons 

You got to meet it straight, a head on collision 

You can run, but you can't hide

Is that what they're saying?

If you hide then you can't run

It's a real tough situation 

You can't stop people from doing their thing

Running red lights

Acting so strange

You got to look away to another direction

You can think, but you can't say

Is that what you're doing?

If you say then you can't think

It's a real tricky decision 

Gideon's survival is based upon the bible 

That he carries dearly in the palm of his right hand

The world just goes to pieces but he never releases

The pages of the golden word, and I don't understand

What goes through the mind of Gideon? 

What kind of time lives Gideon?

You can't change punishment that goes way too far

Roll up your sleeves

Smoke Cuban cigars

You got to face the here and now with no more excuses

You can laugh, but you can't cry

Is that what they're meaning?

If you cry then you can't laugh

And that will leave you screaming

Gideon's survival is based upon the bible 

That he carries dearly in the palm of his right hand

The world just goes to pieces but he never releases

The pages of the golden word, and I don't understand

What goes through the mind of Gideon? 

What kind of time lives Gideon?

You can look, but you can't touch 

Is that what you're thinking?

If you touch then look away

It's enough to start you drinking

Gideon's survival is based upon the bible 

That he carries dearly in the palm of his right hand

The world just goes to pieces but he never releases

The pages of the golden word, and I don't understand

What goes through the mind of Gideon? 

What kind of time lives Gideon?

What goes through the mind of Gideon? 

Is it such a crime to be like Gideon?
