Live It Forward (Live)
He said, "I've been down and out
Failed more times than a man's supposed to fail
And sometimes it was my fault
Wish I could blame it on someone else
"Wasted years of my life
Hitting walls I didn't think I could get over
But I made it through
And I like who I became as I got older."
And the old man tossed me a beer and said
You can't change the past,
But don't let those memories fade
Because you can't erase even one of
Those mistakes that you made
every setback set you loose
So you can move on if you choose
Nothing from yesterday
Can find a way to hurt you anymore
Learn from your life looking backwards
But it live it forward
He said, "Don't get stuck
In the coulda beens, let 'em show you where to go
Choose love over anything
Cuz it's all that lasts, ya know
and when ya mess up
Don't get held up by the things you shoulda done
Just work and pray
And keep giving grace to yourself and everyone
CHORUS
The crazy thing is Grandaddy was the best man I've ever known
Yeah he made mistakes but it proved that you can get forgiveness and move on
CHORUS
Failed more times than a man's supposed to fail
And sometimes it was my fault
Wish I could blame it on someone else
"Wasted years of my life
Hitting walls I didn't think I could get over
But I made it through
And I like who I became as I got older."
And the old man tossed me a beer and said
You can't change the past,
But don't let those memories fade
Because you can't erase even one of
Those mistakes that you made
every setback set you loose
So you can move on if you choose
Nothing from yesterday
Can find a way to hurt you anymore
Learn from your life looking backwards
But it live it forward
He said, "Don't get stuck
In the coulda beens, let 'em show you where to go
Choose love over anything
Cuz it's all that lasts, ya know
and when ya mess up
Don't get held up by the things you shoulda done
Just work and pray
And keep giving grace to yourself and everyone
CHORUS
The crazy thing is Grandaddy was the best man I've ever known
Yeah he made mistakes but it proved that you can get forgiveness and move on
CHORUS
