Story Behind The Song

I wrote it as a young man but it comes form the viewpoint of someone much older

Song Description

Life lessons passed along to the next generation

Lyrics

My brother seemed to say it's alright so I did it
My sister seemed to say it's outta' sight so I took it
My mama told me walk a straight line so I crossed it
Now I have a choice to make should I do it?

Chorus
It ain't easy being young
Stuck to find out for yourself
What this life is all about
Cuz' it's yours and no one else

Bridge
When you're caught up in a whirlwind
And your thinking's gone to shit
Trust yourself and not the others
Always play upon your wits

Chorus

There's a kid alive who tried it and he liked it
There's a kid who found a voice and he knows it
And he found out things the hard way but he learned it
Now he can pass it down the next day 'cause he's earned it

Chorus
