VERSE 1. SAY LIFE IS NOT A BED OF ROSES. YOU GOTTA TRY HARD IF YOU'RE GONNA MAKE IT. PUSH ON THROUGH BEFORE THE DOOR CLOSES. FOR IT AIN'T WIDE ENOUGH CAUSE A LOT OF PEOPLE KNOW IT.

Well you only need the light when it's burning low. Only miss the sun when it starts to snow. Only know you love her when you let her go. . Only know you've been high when you're feeling low.

Life's like a road that you travel on. One day here and the next day gone. Sometimes you bend, sometimes you stand. Sometimes you turn your back to the wind.
On that very first day, the Lord sat down. And saw fit to say let there be light!. So He could tell the day time from the night.. And then He spoke again and we felt the wind.
C'mon hurry, ain't no time for worrying,. Gotta go, move On. . Just leave the lights on, grab some clothes,. Set those sights on that four lane road. I'm Gone.
Down life's highway. All alone I've trod, I always put my trust in God. But you'll find out that your silver and gold. Won't pay the price to protect your soul.

I can't answer her letter. For she left me no address. You should know, my little darling. You left my poor heart in distress. . I got a letter from my darling.
You cheated me and made me lonely. I tried to be your very own. There'll be a day you'll want me only. But when I leave, I'll be a long time gone. Be a long time gone.
The lightning express from the depot so grand. Had started out on its way. All of the passengers that were on board. Seemed to be happy and gay. . But one little boy who sat by himself.
Young lovers in a picture frame. Ever notice how there ain't no rain. Nobody hangs hard times on the wall. You won't see it in an 8 by 10. But there's a storm every now and then.
