Walk Our Own Road

There's do'ers and don'ters and I wills and won'ters

And them, that don't even try

Givers and takers, movers and shakers

And them that are just passing by

Skid rows and winos and some folks that I know

That don't do like I think they should

I thought they were livin' their lives all wrong

Long, before I understood

We all have to walk our own road

We can't always go where we're told

In the end where it'll end up, the Lord only knows

But we all have to walk our own road

I've had some good times and I've had a good life

And I've had things goin' my way

I've walked the high ground and treasures that I've found

An' women who brightened my day

Then there were times I was caught in the crosswinds

With life, goin' 'round and around

Like a ship with no sails, I was caught in a gale

'Til I fin'lly just ran it a ground

We all have to walk our own road

We can't always go where we're told

In the end where it'll end up, the Lord only knows

But we all have to walk our own road

We all have to walk our own road

We can't always go where we're told

In the end where it'll end up, the Lord only knows

But we all have to walk our own road
