journey of your life

Gustavo Mioto

He was old school in overalls
Tough as nails as I recall
Fought a war and came back home
Honest as the day was long
Right before my grandpa died
He looked me right straight in the eye
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
A band-aid now and then
You ll need a home to come home to
Son, we all need a refuge
And on the straight and narrow path
You ll need to learn to bend

You ll need a good square, keep it level
And grace to face th? Devil
You ll need a angel flyin by your side
On th? 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
Lotta faith in God above
A woman you can love
You ll need a good song you can sing on
And a shoulder you can lean on
You ll have to draw a line sometimes
When push comes to shove

You ll need to lose some, 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 the dreams you re chasin
Never get above your raisin
May the simple things be amazin
On the journey of your life

I ll be the angel flyin by your side
On the journey of your life
