Letra

When I was 8 years old I used to follow Dad around
Watch her replace sparkplugs and put fence posts in the
ground
He would tell me try your best at every thing you do
But I don't think he always thought that message made it
through
But every time I screwed things up he'd just smile and
shake his head
He'd pick me up there on his knee and this is what he said
Watch where you're going, not where you been
Keep one eye on your enemies, and one eye on your
friends
Always look 'em in the eye but it's impolite to stare
That's it son, you're getting there
That summer after high school I met a pretty girl
The fact she even knew my name put my heart in a whirl
Every time I'd try to talk my words would be a mess
I couldn't take much more my heart couldn't stand the
stress
But then just when I thought I'd never even get a glance
I caught her smiling at me and I knew I had a chance
And I thought....Watch where you're going, not where you
been
Keep one eye on your enemies, and one eye on your
friends
Always look 'em in the eye but it's impolite to stare
That's it son, you're getting there
You know you're getting there and boy that's anywhere but
here
Trying to make your best better and conquer all your fears
Keep your head held high even when life don't play fair
That's it son, you're getting there
Sitting in that hospital just waiting for the word
I could feel my own heart racing when the doctor’s voice I
heard
Then my eyes filled with tears so much I couldn’t see
Then a tiny hand wrapped round my thumb and knocked
me to my knees
I bowed my head and kissed her and began to pray
That she would always understand these words that I
would say
Watch where you're going, not where you been
Keep one eye on your enemies, and one eye on your
friends
Always look 'em in the eye but it's impolite to stare
That's it girl, you're getting there
