Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Well Grandma said it was always hard
Told me about her battle scars with love
She'd finally had enough
[Verse 2]
Ten years of lies, tears and pain
Another shotgun, kids in the closet day, a drunk
Who couldn't save himself
[Chorus]
You've got to live
Like there's no tomorrow
Laugh when you want to cry
Walk with eyes wide open
Stand with your head held high
Hold the little moments
That bring the biggest smiles
Don't wait for that something
Take life by the mile
[Verse 3]
Ol' Bill was only 45
Had an 8 year old son and a loving wife at home
When he wrecked his life
They sat beside him in his hospital bed
When the doctor came he bowed his head
No time for goodbyes
[Repeat Chorus]
[Verse 4]
Daddy once told me long ago
Life is a beat up, broken road, of hopeI know you'll find your way
