The Road You Choose
He a skinny young kid who sets in the back of the class
Nobody knows his name nobody cares to ask
They just set up front and tell him that he won't go far
Not knowing that one day he'll grow up to be a movie star
Chorus
You got to hold your head up high if your gonna see it all
Got to put your foot above the rest if your gonna rise at all
Spread your wings and fly if you don't want to fall
It's the road that you choose that will take you through it all
Now that kids grown up to be that movie star
Seemed like yesterday people told him that he wouldn't go far
Tonight's his big premier he's got tons of fans
Next week he's on The Late Show with David Letterman
You got to hold your head up high if your gonna see it all
Got to put your foot above the rest if your gonna rise at all
Spread your wings and fly if you don't want to fall
It's the road that you choose that will take you through it all
He's older now he's got gray hair and all
He's got two teenage kids John and Paul
One of them is having the same problems he did too
He just said son hold on here's what you got to do, got to do, got to do, got to do
You got to hold your head up high if your gonna see it all
Got to put your foot above the rest if your gonna rise at all
Spread your wings and fly if you don't want to fall
It's the road that you choose that will take you through it all
Nobody knows his name nobody cares to ask
They just set up front and tell him that he won't go far
Not knowing that one day he'll grow up to be a movie star
Chorus
You got to hold your head up high if your gonna see it all
Got to put your foot above the rest if your gonna rise at all
Spread your wings and fly if you don't want to fall
It's the road that you choose that will take you through it all
Now that kids grown up to be that movie star
Seemed like yesterday people told him that he wouldn't go far
Tonight's his big premier he's got tons of fans
Next week he's on The Late Show with David Letterman
You got to hold your head up high if your gonna see it all
Got to put your foot above the rest if your gonna rise at all
Spread your wings and fly if you don't want to fall
It's the road that you choose that will take you through it all
He's older now he's got gray hair and all
He's got two teenage kids John and Paul
One of them is having the same problems he did too
He just said son hold on here's what you got to do, got to do, got to do, got to do
You got to hold your head up high if your gonna see it all
Got to put your foot above the rest if your gonna rise at all
Spread your wings and fly if you don't want to fall
It's the road that you choose that will take you through it all
