Life, And Legacy
When I was a young boy
I grew up poor in that Saline County town
Skippin rocks out on that lake shore
Catchin crawdads in the summertime
Had we known
Where our lives would go from here
From skippin rocks
To makin rock
To playin stages everywhere
You never know when your bell is gonna sound
Or when your life turns around
When i became a grown man
40 years old, two kids, a wife, and a home
Chasin dreams i never thought i could
But look at me now, playin on your radio
Had we known
Where our lives would go from here
From skippin rocks
To makin rock
To playin stages everywhere
You never know when your bell is gonna sound
Or when your life turns around
Why do i do this you ask? It's simple
I do it for my kids, I do it for my grandkids
The internet is forever
Anything you put out there
It never goes away
My grandkids, my great grandkids
They won't have to hang on to a voicemail message
They won't have to hang on to a photo to remember who i was
They can go online
Pull up one of my songs
They can feel my soul
They can hear my heart in every note
And they'll know who i was
Never settle on the way life use to be
Get stuck in time
You'll never shine
And see just what your life could be
Step outside your box
Then you're gonna see
The essence of Life, and Legacy
I grew up poor in that Saline County town
Skippin rocks out on that lake shore
Catchin crawdads in the summertime
Had we known
Where our lives would go from here
From skippin rocks
To makin rock
To playin stages everywhere
You never know when your bell is gonna sound
Or when your life turns around
When i became a grown man
40 years old, two kids, a wife, and a home
Chasin dreams i never thought i could
But look at me now, playin on your radio
Had we known
Where our lives would go from here
From skippin rocks
To makin rock
To playin stages everywhere
You never know when your bell is gonna sound
Or when your life turns around
Why do i do this you ask? It's simple
I do it for my kids, I do it for my grandkids
The internet is forever
Anything you put out there
It never goes away
My grandkids, my great grandkids
They won't have to hang on to a voicemail message
They won't have to hang on to a photo to remember who i was
They can go online
Pull up one of my songs
They can feel my soul
They can hear my heart in every note
And they'll know who i was
Never settle on the way life use to be
Get stuck in time
You'll never shine
And see just what your life could be
Step outside your box
Then you're gonna see
The essence of Life, and Legacy
