Whiskey Myers - Other Side Lyrics

Your daddy was a ramblin' man
One that's been down a time or two
I was a late night gambling man
Back before I met your mama and you
So let me drop a little wisdom on ya
Before I get old gray so you don't do the things that I've done
No, you don't have to make the same mistakes
'Cause I won't always be around
No, I won't always be around

So here's a few things I've learned from my crooked road
Like life ain't worth living if you spend it alone
It takes a whole lot of love and a happy home to get it right
And a little something from the other side

You know I tasted that desert wind
I've danced through a hurricane
I climbed the highest mountains
Had the baddest women and champagne but it didn't bring me happiness
I was only empty 'til I found love so boy don't ever lose yourself
And don't forget that there's someone up above
'Cause I won't always be around for when this ol' world gets you down

So here's a few things I've learned from my crooked road
Like life ain't worth living if you spend it alone
It takes a whole lot more than flesh and bone to get it right
So stick to your guns and let your roots run deep
Don't be scared of taking a leap
It takes some falling down and getting back on your feet before you learn to fly
And a little something from the other side
A little something from the other side

So here's a few things I've learned from my crooked road
That there ain't nothing wrong with never growing old
It's about the times you share not the things you own or the bottom line
And though one day I won't be around
Just know I was happy with the life I found
It took a whole lot of falling and stumbling down before I got it right
It took a little something from the other side
A little something from the other side
A little something from the other side
