Tom Cochrane - The Loading lyrics

(Hold the line) Linin' them up I remember they shoot 'em Never dared dream that they'd shoot anyone Now I'm a simple man tied on the vine Caught up in the times And fates on my right hand CHORUS Gamble of the ages Suit me up I'm ready to go Oh such a young man When the loading had begun (I guess, I guess) Don't press your luck angel face Don't push it out Shove you way to the front too fast I was framed no holds barred So they say I can't believe that it ended all like this Gamble of the ages Suit me up I'm ready to go Oh such a young man When the loading had begun When I was a boy I would dream about space Space it would change year to year When she would take me down way down by the stream Oh that last frontier I still can hear he say "be home before dark" Put one here upon me baby Remember me for what I was Tell the man who'll be settin' me up I'll be back before you know Where is that pilgrim saint We'll see the next time we get back up She said, "you might be \n ex-patriot but i'll love you like the sun Gamble of the ages Suit me up I'm ready to go Oh to be such a young man When the loading time began Began.......... Hey...ho!!!!!!!! Oh I'm a simple man mmmmmmghhhh Tied on the vine
