Lyrics
He was sixteen, tender and tough
She was too and he'd do anything to prove his love
With so much ridin' on the choice at hand
The spirit of a boy or the wisdom of a man
Hearts caught fire and love ran wild
She cried the day she called to say she was havin' his child
With so much ridin' on the choice at hand
The spirit of a boy or the wisdom of a man
There's a constant contradiction
What feels good and what feels right
But you live with decisions
That you make in your life
And what steers your direction
Is hard to understand
The spirit of a boy or the wisdom of a man
Now he drives a diesel out of Dallas
Haulin' cars out to the coast
It ain't the dream that he remembers
Just a few short years ago
But tonight at a truckstop
While drinkin' a cup
The waitress grins and winks at him
Says my shift's almost up
With so much ridin' on the choice at hand
The spirit of a boy or the wisdom of a man
The spirit of a boy or the wisdom of a man
