tender and tough. she was too
and he'd do anything to prove his love. with so much riding on the choice at hand
the spirit of a boy
or the wisdom of a man. hearts caught fire and love ran wild. she cried the day she called to say she was having his child. with so much riding on the choice at hand
the spirit of a boy or the wisdom of a man. there's a constant contradiction
what feels good and what feels right. but
you live with decisions that you make in your life. and what steers your direction is hard to understand
the spirit of a boy
or the wisdom of a man

hauling cars out to the coast. it ain't the dream that he remembered
just a few short years ago. but tonight at a truckstop
while drinking a cup
the waitress grins and winks at him
and says
my shift's almost up."
