The Secret

Well you say you like my songs and you’re lookin’ for some advice

I’ll gladly give it to ya, you don’t have to ask me twice

Sure I’ll tell you my secret hey, it’s easy for me to say

Because you see there ain’t no secret son and there ain’t no easy way

Just work hard, shoot straight

If you’re the last one out shut the gate

Remember it’s a marathon we’re runnin’ not a sprint

And if you wanna move mountains, first just make a dent

Now if time is money, money’s for the ones who put in the time

Mountain views are for the few who dare to make the climb

If you want to play the guitar like the boys here in my band

They can’t practice for you, you gotta use your own two hands

Just work hard, shoot straight

When someone buys you dinner, clean your plate

Remember it’s a marathon we’re runnin’ not a sprint

And if you wanna move mountains, first just make a dent

Now I hope I haven’t discouraged you with these words I’ve had to say

The fact is that the fun part is finding your own way

So keep in touch and let me know if there’s anything I can do

Shoot one day I may be opening for you

If you work hard, shoot straight

Don’t settle for being good, you gotta be great

Remember life’s a marathon we’re runnin’ not a sprint

And if you wanna move mountains, first just make a dent

Remember life’s a marathon we’re runnin’ not a sprint

And if you wanna move mountains, first just make a dent
