Steps
I sit on my front step
I watch the iron horse roll by
Something rhythmic in its march
And then the silence waves goodbye
Oh, I won't trade a day I've lived
Lord, I won't trade a day I've lived
I sit on my back step
With my old dog at my feet
He's been at my side
Ever since we did meet
Oh, I won't trade a day I've lived
Lord, I won't trade a day I've lived
Sometimes it seems like my story's written
Sometimes I like to test my faith
But each time I pass with flying colors
My life's each line upon my face
I sit on my front step
I see the neighbor in his yard
I smile and wave hello
He smiles back with a nod
Oh, I won't trade a day I've lived
Lord, I won't trade a day I've lived
I sit on my back step
With my wife who I adore
Married for forty years
And I pray for forty more
Ohhh, I won't trade a day I've lived
Lord, I won't trade a day I've lived
Sometimes it seems like my story's written
Sometimes I like to test my faith
But each time I pass with flying colors
My life's each line upon her face
I sit on my back step
I watch the iron horse roll by
Something rhythmic in its march
And then the silence waves goodbye
Oh, I won't trade a day I've lived
Lord, I won't trade a day I've lived
I sit on my back step
With my old dog at my feet
He's been at my side
Ever since we did meet
Oh, I won't trade a day I've lived
Lord, I won't trade a day I've lived
Sometimes it seems like my story's written
Sometimes I like to test my faith
But each time I pass with flying colors
My life's each line upon my face
I sit on my front step
I see the neighbor in his yard
I smile and wave hello
He smiles back with a nod
Oh, I won't trade a day I've lived
Lord, I won't trade a day I've lived
I sit on my back step
With my wife who I adore
Married for forty years
And I pray for forty more
Ohhh, I won't trade a day I've lived
Lord, I won't trade a day I've lived
Sometimes it seems like my story's written
Sometimes I like to test my faith
But each time I pass with flying colors
My life's each line upon her face
I sit on my back step
