Things To Live By |
LyricsTHINGS TO LIVE BY (Go Like The Dickens)VERSE: I was just a kid when I said hey grandpa what makes this world go round He said you get up in the morning, go like the dickens, until the sun goes down Be good to yourself, and everyone else and no laziness allowed Cause at the end of the day you?ll wanna say that you gave more than what you took out VERSE: Well I wasn?t so sure so I went to my daddy, said what makes this world go round He said you get up in the morning, kiss your woman, then you pull your work boots on Love them kids, go like the dickens and give life all you?ve got And at the end of the day, you bow your head and thank the good Lord that you?re still around CHORUS: These are things to live by, things to make you proud That?s what I remember when I need to put my feet on solid ground VERSE: Well that was years ago, grand daddy?s gone, this is a different place and time And I make my living not by the sweat of my brow, but with my mind Yet no matter where I go, or what I do, I still hear that sweet voice say You gotta give it your best, go like the dickens, and yeah son, don?t forget to pray CHORUS: BRIDGE: And it?s men like these that built this land With their backs, their sweat and with their hands And if this world is gonna keep spinning ?round Then what was passed on to us we need to keep passing on down CHORUS: Copyright 2006 Lynn Case and Russ Case Contact us at: russ@showcasesongs.com |
