Forty Years Down The Road
FORTY YEARS DOWN THE ROAD
I've sung in lots of places,
Lived my life in the words of songs,
Found success through record sales
And thunderous applause.
I've let passion make my mind up,
But if the truth be told,
How much of it will matter,
FORTY YEARS DOWN THE ROAD.
But time has a way of changing
The way some people feel,
And what used to be so important
Takes on a new appeal.
Before I heard that you were coming
I just let my life unfold
Now you're part of my future
FORTY YEARS DOWN THE ROAD.
You didn't ask to come here but now that you're around
You should know who will always love you and try not to let you down.
From the day they laid you in my arms
When you were barely minutes old,
These same two arms will hold you
FORTY YEARS DOWN THE ROAD.
Wish I could spare you all the bruises
When you trip and fall,
But part of life is living through
All of those close calls.
I won't always have the answers
And we're bound to disagree
But that won't change the way I feel
About what you mean to me.
You didn't ask to come here but now that you're around
You should know who will always love you and try not to let you down.
You'll always have my shoulder
To lighten up your load
And my two arms to hold you
FORTY YEARS DOWN THE ROAD.
Yeah, I'll be there to hold you,
FORTY YEARS DOWN THE ROAD.
