When I was just a kid about twelve years old
Fishing beside a man who had a heart of gold
What he told me that day still rings in my head
After years I remember every word he said
He pulled out a cigarette and he lit it up
Grabbed up his thermos of coffee and poured me a cup, He said
I haven't had a chance to do this enough
This old life can be awful tough
It's good for you to learn this now from me
Before it's too late one day you see
What's here today might be gone by tomorrow
And whats often left is regret and sorrow
Do what's right as soon as you can
Do what's in your heart, be your own man
Be the one that does good deeds
And Don't you follow always lead
Always Help those in which you can
And never be to proud for a helping hand
Don't waste your time on earth, listen to me son
Cause you'll never know when your time will be done
When my first one was born man I remember it clear
My heart was full of love that sadness and fear
My daddy's words started ringing in my head
As I stared at my wife and baby in that bed
Looking at those sweet faces my life was clear
And wasting anything man that's what I feared
How I need to quit that job and get off the road
Cause this life is short man that's just how it goes
What's here today might be gone by tomorrow
And whats often left is regret and sorrow
Do what's right as soon as you can
Do what's in your heart, be your own man
Be the one that does good deeds
And Don't you follow always lead
Always Help those in which you can
And never be to proud for a helping hand
Don't waste your time on earth, listen to me son
Cause you'll never know when your time will be done
Yeah it will be done
