The Journey Of Your Life Songtext / Lyric

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
