Born with dirt on my knees, and stars in my eyes
Mama said "Son, don't you ever compromise
Daddy's hands were strong, workin' the fields
Teachin' me life ain't always a great deal
Small-town bars where dreams take a rest
Corners folded of my tattered vest
Songs of heartbreak and stories untold
Livin' like tomorrow's a future sold
From cradle to brave, don't hide in the shade
Take those chances before it's too late
When the Good Lord calls, count no regret
Livin' each day like it's the best one yet
First love gone, left a scar on my heart
Whiskey nights tryin' to play the part
Old pick-up truck, damn near fell apart
Every mile a lesson of the Western star
From cradle to brave, don't hide in the shade
Take those chances before it's too late
When the Good Lord calls, count no regret
Livin' each day like it's the best one yet
Time's a river, won't ever slow down
Dream, dare, and don't wear no frown
Folks we loved, they're watching above
Guiding us with old-fashioned love
