Lessons in Life (JP) 550

[intro musical solo] [Verse] Down by the creek where the willow trees weep, Grandpa's old rifle hangs above his seat, He taught me how to fish, and how to say grace, Now I'm picking up the pieces he's left in his place. [Verse 2] Momma used to sew by the light of the moon, Now I'm patching up my heart with her old spool, She said, "Life's a dance with steps unclear, You'll laugh, you'll cry, it's all part of the deal." [Chorus] Oh, life's got a way of spinning us 'round, Just when you rise, it'll knock you back down, But every fall teaches you to stand, Lessons in life you never planned. [Verse 3] Bobby down the road was always flyin' high, Dreams of the NFL, reaching for the sky, Now he's fixing tractors, got a baby on the way, Funny how life trades a night for a day. [Verse 4] Sister ran off to find her city lights, Lost in the rush of those neon nights, Came back home with a sigh and a tear, Saying, "Turns out the simple life is dear." [Chorus] Oh, life's got a way of spinning us 'round, Just when you rise, it'll knock you back down, But every fall teaches you to stand, Lessons in life you never planned. [Repeat Chorus] [outro musical solo fade to end] [end]
