The Journey Of Your Life

He was old school, in overalls

Tough as nails, as I recall

Fought a war, and came back home

Honest, as the day was long

Right before, my grandpa died

He looked me right straight, in the eye

Said, "Here's some words, to get you by"

"To help you, on the journey, of your life"

You'll need a hay-room, and a good dog

Especially, a good dog

A hammer, and a handsaw

A band-aid, now and then

You'll need a home, to come home to

Son, we all need a refuge

And, on the straight and narrow path

You'll need to learn, to bend

You'll need a good square, keep it level

And grace, to face the Devil

You'll need an angel, flyin' by your side

On the journey, of your life

Ride the wind, 'til we meet again

On the other side, of life

You'll need some good luck, and a Bible

Especially, a Bible

Lotta faith, in God above

A woman, you can love

You'll need a good song, you can sing on

And a shoulder, you can lean on

You'll have to draw a line, sometimes

When push, comes to shove

You'll need to lose some, be a winner

Have courage, to surrender

You'll need to laugh a lot, and keep it light

On the journey, of your life

And no matter the dreams, you're chasin'

Never, get above your raisin'

May the simple things, be amazin'

On the journey, of your life

I'll be the angel, flyin' by your side

On the journey, of your life
