Song Description

A PHILOSOPHY OF FINDING JOY IN ALL ASPECTS OF LIFE IN ORDER TO BE MORE PRESENT IN THE MOMENT RATHER THAN LOOKING TO THE FUTURE FOR JOY AND SATISFACTION.

Lyrics

With the wind in my hair on my schwinn bicycle,
I was throwing newspapers right after school,
It was the very first time I ever got paid to work,

I was working for my first vacation,
A day on the couch with my new play station,
and a couple of games with the money I"d earn,

But after 3 long weeks I was ready to quit,
All work and no play had me tired of this,
But dad said son,
you can have fun
the whole way through...

chorus
He said "life is a journey,
you know it ain't no destination,
if you have a good time no matter what you're doing,
you're always on vacation,

work for the good things,
all along that winding road,
cause life's a ourney son, and destinations,
well they come and go..."

Well I looked at my dad with a raised eyebrow,
He could see the wheels turning trying to figure it out,
He tried to break it down for me 3 or 4 different ways,

He said "son the thing 'bout a hard working man,
If he wants to do something, he knows he can,
'Cause he lives for the challenge each and every day,"

"If you ain't working hard, you're hardly working,
If you're being lazy, then you ain't learning,
And learning in life is the greatest thrill!"

repeat chorus

bridge
I can have as much fun working on a car,
As going to the race at the nascar yard,
All it really takes is the right frame of mind,

Some people see work as a means to an end,
That's the wrong way to see my friend,
You live that way and you're just doing time,

Doing time!

repeat chorus
