Lessons From An Old Man

Outrun your wild side before you buy that ring
The house on a hill don't make you a king
Big fancy car get you nowhere real fast
It ain't always the good guy comin' in last

It ain't all about money, but money is nice
There's nothin' wrong with whiskey, just keep Sundays dry
There's makin' a livin' and there's makin' a life
Lessons from an old man, made a young man wise

5 o'clock comes slow, but the years sure fly by
Don't let 'em tell you that grown men don't cry
The dog's gonna hunt and the horse's gonna run
Keep the wind at your back and your face to the sun

It ain't all about money, but money is nice
There's nothin' wrong with whiskey, just keep Sundays dry
There's makin' a livin' and there's makin' a life

Yeah

Big high crown hat and a beat-up old Dodge
Can still smell the cigar and the diesel burnin' hot
He'd lean way on back and take one more puff
He'd say, "I don't know it all, boy, but I know enough"
Said, "I don't know it all, boy, but I know enough"

It ain't all about money, but money is nice
There's nothin' wrong with whiskey, just keep Sundays dry
And I'm gonna miss him just talkin' 'bout life
