The Journey Of Your Life lyrics

Well he was old school in overalls

Tough as nails as I recall

He fought a war and came back home

Honest as the day was long

And right before my grandpa died he looked me right straight in the eyes

Said here's some words to get you by

To help you on the journey of your life

You'll need a hero

And a good dog

Especially a good dog

A hammer and a handsaw

Bandaid now and then

You'll need a home to come home to

Son we all need a refuge

On the straight and narrow path

You need to learn to bend

Get a good square and keep it level

Have grace to face the devil

You need an angel flying 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

A lot of faith in god above

And a woman you can love

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

And a shoulder you can lean on

And you gotta draw the line sometimes when push comes to shove

You'll need to lose some to 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 what dreams you're chasing

Never get above your raising

May the simple things be amazing

On the journey of your life

He said I'll be the angel flying by your side

On the journey of your life
