Lyrics
I Hope You Find Your Fortune
(Copyright Stadler, Neil, Toland 2004)
505-984-8310
Verse 1
I was down on my luck when a blue pickup truck
Pulled over to give me ride
Then this funny old man all wrinkled and tan
Said, ?it sure must be cold out tonight?
He shook my hand said, ?I?ll take you as far as I can?.
Verse 2
On that cold winter night underneath his dome light
I told him how my life had gone bad
I left my hometown after trouble went down
And I had every reason to be sad
He nodded his head as the sun began to rise
He turned to me and looked me in the eyes and said
Chorus
I hope you find your fortune
I hope you will begin
To love what life brings to you
And take each moment in
Be kind to yourself?and everyone else
Verse 3
In the light of the day as that truck pulled away
I thought about my Mary Lynn
With a fatherless son, Lord what have I done
That?s no way for a life to begin
The words that the old man had said were all true
I knew right away what to do He said
Chorus
Verse 4
Twenty years from that day I heard a young man say
How his life was getting him down
With a streak of bad luck he said he?s gonna get in his truck
And hightail it straight out of town
I looked at my wife where my fortune had led
I turned to my son and I said
Chorus
