Lyrics
THE DAY BEFORE MY GRANDPA DIED
HE TOOK ME BY HIS SIDE
WITH HIS WITHERED HAND HE WROTE THIS LINE
HE SAID YOUDE UNDERSTAND IN TIME
YOUVE GOT TO MIND YOUR SOUL
YOUVE GOT TO KEEP YOUR DREAMS
NEVER STAND IN THE LINE
YOUVE GOT RIDE YOURE TRAIN
TIL YOUR TIME
TIL THEN KEEP THAT FIRE ALIVE
HE SAID LIFES A LONG HARD ROCKY OL ROAD
YOU ONLY GET ONE TRY
SOME GET BRAWN AND SOME GET BRAINS
MOST MEN NEVER KNOW JUST WHERE TO FLY
I LEFT THAT OL MAN ON THAT OLD PORCH
I STILL SEE HIM WAVING GOODBYE
GRINNING OCEAN WIDE FROM EAR TO EAR
KEEPING HIS OL PHILOSOPHY ALIVE
