Ok
Check this out
I remember when my daddy had taken me by the hand
he said this life is hard, get ahead while you can
and boy that man's eye aint no easy way around
take too many wrong steps and its a long way down
keep climbing but remember no matter what you believe
if your searching for an answer, try falling onto your knees
there'll be difficult decisions, the kind we all have to make
i was standing in your shoes when i first heard my father say

son let me tell you what i know,
ive seen that courage just come and go
every fallen angel comes back though
but some come a little too late
man that kind of life is a highway
gotta be careful what exit you take
gotta lot of miles to cover on just one tank
maybe its time to hit the brakes and be a better man
dontcha want to be a better man

time went on and i got olderfound my way and made my life
i can tell you it all changed on the day that i met my wife
made a choice to live it betterwant to be here for my kids
want to raise them up with values man just like my parents did
ima teach em no ones perfect you sleep in the bed you make
and the truth is in the eyes not in them hands that you shake
sometimes this life aint fair, and it dont follow your plan
but just remember whos upstairs, hes reaching down for your hand

son let me tell you what i know,
ive seen that courage just come and go
every fallen angel comes back though
but some come a little too late
man that kind of life is a highway
gotta be careful what exit you take
gotta lot of miles to cover on just one tank
maybe its time to hit the brakes and be a better man
dontcha want to be a better man

yeah, yall listen up
when its time to meet my maker want to make it through them gates
want to reunite with family and man i can barely wait
ima tell em that i love em, took a while to understand
but it was coming home to them that made me be a better man

son let me tell you what i know,
ive seen that courage just come and go
every fallen angel comes back though
but some come a little too late
man that kind of life is a highway
gotta be careful what exit you take
gotta lot of miles to cover on just one tank
maybe its time to hit the brakes and be a better man
dontcha want to be a better man
