Other Side

Your daddy was a ramblin' man One that's been down a time or two I was a late night gambling man Back before I met your mama and you So let me drop a little wisdom on ya Before I get old and gray so you don't do the things that I've done No you don't have to make the same mistakes 'Cause I won't always be around No, I won't always be around So here's a few things I've learned from my crooked road Like life ain't worth living if you spend it alone It takes a whole lot of love and a happy home to get it right And a little something from the other side You know I tasted that desert wind I've danced through a hurricane I climbed the highest mountains Had the baddest women and champagne But it didn't bring me happiness I was only empty 'til I found love, so boy don't ever lose yourself And don't forget that there's someone up above 'Cause I won't always be around for when this old world gets you down So here's a few things I've learned from my crooked road Like life ain't worth living if you spend it alone It takes a whole lot more than flesh and bone to get it right So stick to your guns and let your roots run deep Don't be scared of taking a leap It takes some falling down and getting back on your feet Before you learn to fly And a little something from the other side A little something from the other side So here's a few things I've learned from my crooked road That ain't nothing wrong with never growing old It's about the times you share not the things you own Or the bottom line And though one day I won't be around Just know I was happy with the life I found It took a whole lot of falling and stumbling down before I got it right It took a little something from the other side A little something from the other side A little something from the other side
