Life's Great Work

Was only a few years ago

Since I bought my friend's car and I moved far

A long, long way down

A long, long way from home

Not really knowin' where I was goin'

But just knowing I had to hit the road

Just a poor boy

Just a poor, old wandering soul

Never thought twice about my life or my identity

Selling everything that I own

Cashing in both my loans

And I sacrificed that old college degree

Oh, just to be what I wanted to be

Just to see everything that I always hoped that I'd always see

And there's a great life's work in front me

I'd never heard that it'd ever come so easy

'Cause all I know is that there's only one thing left to believe

I got my work cut out for me

I got my work cut out for me

Never once did I ever feel that I'd ever be alone

'Cause I always had the best of my friends

And the rest of my family out there with me everywhere that I go

And it's behind closed eyes I see them smiling

And they're laughing and clapping and, oh, they're having a ball

With their little boy lost who is trying

And he'll try it all

But there's a great deal of life's work in front of me

I never thought that I'd ever be, oh, so easy

'Cause I never heard that it's only one else

And it's only one thing to believe

I got my work cut out for me

I got my work cut out for me

And some day the words don't work

And I forget all about what I've spoken for

But God knows it doesn't hurt

I gotta keep on, keep on keepin on

Because I'll make more

And there's a great life's work in front of me

I never dreamed, and I never hoped it'd ever be easy

But I left home with the only thing that my daddy taught me, boy

Said: Son, you gotta believe it

I got my work cut out for me

I got my work cut out for me

I got my work cut out for me

I got my work cut out for me
