It was grandpa and me on the bank of that river Where we talked more about life than we fished One day as we watched that current roll by He looked up at me and said Son there are people in this life who fall on themselves As they fight against their maker's hand Son the secret to life ain't to cry at your luck You've got to trust in the man upstairs Then he said Some search for life in a bottle Some souls wander till death Some spend their whole lives chasing a dream Just to find it ain't what they expect Some cry out to the good Lord himself As they fight against his plans But some make peace with the hand they've been dealt And I know because I was one myself That was a long time ago And now I'm on my own But I've seen his wisdom first hand The people around me seem all depressed About problems they can't understand But I look back to my grandaddies' words When he taught me what makes a man When he said Some search for life in a bottle Some souls wander till death Some spend their whole lives chasing a dream Just to find it ain't what they expect Some cry out to the good Lord himself As they fight against his plans But some make peace with the hand they've been dealt And I know because I was one myself Sometimes I go back to that river And I watch as that water flows by And I can't help but think to myself About those memories he taught about life Like when he said Some search for life in a bottle Some souls wander till death Some spend their whole lives chasing a dream Just to find it ain't what they expect Some cry out to the good Lord himself As they fight against his plans But some make peace with the hand they've been dealt And I know because I was one myself I said some make peace with the hand they've been dealt And I know because I was one myself I know because I was one myself
