God bless my daddy, I learned so much from him
He taught me at an early age I had to sink or swim He said, "Boy, that old river of life can wash away your dreams But you gotta keep right on kicking and swimming upstream" Before I knew it I was out there on the street That old gal they call lady luck she wasn't kind to me As a matter of fact you could say she was down right mean She kept me in way over my head and swimming upstream Swimming upstream, swimming upstream Fightin' every inch of the way for a poor boy's dream Things will get rough, times will get lean But the only choice you got is keep swimming upstream Every time I think my ship is comin' in That old tide will turn and it'll take me back out again If I just lay back and float I'll be in trouble you see So I gotta keep working and kicking and swimming upstream Swimming upstream swimming upstream Fightin' every inch of the way for a poor boy's dream Things will get rough, times will get lean But the only choice you got is keep swimming upstream Swimming upstream swimming upstream Fightin' every inch of the way for a poor boy's dream Things will get rough, times will get lean But the only choice you got is keep swimming upstream Yeah, the only choice that you got is keep swimming upstream |

Walk away leave with my blessing
Once in awhile, let me hear from you If we never meet again, before my life is over I'll leave this world loving you You can take every thing but my memories For they're good ones and they'll see me through If we never meet again, I'll love you forever I'll leave this world loving you You were mine for a time, and I'm thankful Oh but life would be lonesome without you If we never meet again, this side of heaven I'll leave this world loving you If we never meet again, this side of heaven I'll leave this world loving you |

Honey, sit down, let me tell you what I'm thinking
A story I remember as a kid About a man who tried to tell his wife he loved her And the strong and simple heart felt way he did He said, I thank the Lord for blessing me with feelings And the strength to work and live the way I do And then I asked my two most wanted wishes Let me live with love and die with you Now the woman in that story was my mama So I'm passing on a family legacy And when I tell you that I feel just like my daddy And every night I fall down on my knees And I thank the Lord for blessing me with feelings And the strength to work and live the way I do And then I asked my two most wanted wishes Let me live with love and die with you Yes, let me live with love and die with you |

She hangs up the phone and her heart starts to pound
Someone just told her an old friend's in town And a million old feelings come rushing in Start tearing to pieces what it took years to mend She's living proof, true love never dies Through all of the heartaches and all the goodbyes She just can't forget it, Lord knows, she's tried She's living proof, true love never dies You answer the door and I say, "Hello" If you don't want to see me just tell me, I'll go But I can't love without you, it's only pretend There's no love like you're sweet love, can we try it again? We're living proof, true love never dies Through all of the heartaches and all the goodbyes I just can't forget you, Lord knows, I've tried We're living proof, true love never dies Yes, we're living proof, true love never dies |

You say your man is everythin' you ever dreamed of
He's everythin' that you wanted me to be And from lookin' at this photograph I can see without a doubt Oh, you have the perfect family All that was I see me in the picture Holdin' you and that little baby boy His hair would have been blonder And his eyes would have been blue If that was me in the picture with you With all respect I didn't mean to show my feelings I'm thinkin' things that I have no right to say Someone ought to write a song 'Bout wanderin' boys who can't come home How they let the best thing slip away Once again, I see me in the picture Holdin' you and that little baby boy His hair would have been blonder And his eyes would have been blue If that was me in the picture with you If that was me in the picture with you |
