lyrics

Oh lord, I know you and I don't talk very much
In fact, we really don't see eye to eye
If it's not in your plan to lend a helping hand
Would you please, just let me go by - let me go by

I'm not the kind of guy who likes to stir up trouble
I'm not the kind of guy who always thinks he's right
I'm not the kind of guy who'll try to take advantage - oh no
No, I can't - no, I won't, well, I might - I just might

Every day, I get up in the morning, and I greet it with a great big smile
And I thank my lucky stars for all I see
I turn on the TV, see how the world is doing, watch in shock and awe,
And I find I', awfully glad that, that's not me -

Let me tell you a little story about when I was a young boy.
Sometimes, it was awful hard to do what was right,
Now I'm grown and I surely know the difference - oh yeah
Of what's wrong, and what's right, well. I try -
At least I try - sing!

Walk with me, talk with me, let me tell you everything I know
There's wisdom in these years or so they say
Life has taught me many things about how it all goes
So I know that everything will be OK!

Now as we come to the end of our time together
You look down your path, I look down mine
I'll face the sunset with these three main things in mind,
What a laugh, what a life, what a time - what a time!
