Lyrics
A Righteous Man... copyright Tony Annunziata annunzia@bellsouth.net
He headed for the coast waved goodbye to his folks
He smiled they prayed
First gear they grew smaller third gear he felt taller
Yet he could hear his daddy say
Chorus
Go out and live life learn from your mistakes
Don't be afraid to bend you won't break
Pay it forward son I know you can
And you'll become a righteous man
He passed through highway towns, living the ups and downs
Soaking up life like a sponge
Making friends and a road map of sad goodbyes and belly laughs
Remembering his Daddy saying son
Chorus
Go out and live life learn from your mistakes
Don't be afraid to bend you won't break
Pay it forward son I know you can
And you'll become a righteous man
Bridge
Nothing good ever comes easy
Cause easy never seems to last
Don't be afraid breathe in deeply
And watch the walls of doubt collapse
Chorus
Go out and live life learn from your mistakes
Don't be afraid to bend you won't break
Pay it forward son I know you can
And you'll become a righteous man....and you'll become a righteous man....fade out
