Spirit of a Boy, Wisdom of a Man
He was 16, tender & tough. She was too, & he'd do anything to prove his loveWith so much riding on the choice at hand The spirit of a boy, the wisdom of a manHearts caught fire, love ran wild. She cried the day she called to say She was carrying his child With so much riding on the choice at hand The spirit of a boy, the wisdom of a man It's a constant contradictionWhat feels good & what feels right You live with the decisions you make in your lifeAnd what steers your direction is hard to understand The spirit of a boy, the wisdom of a manHe drives a diesel out of Dallas Hauling cars out to the coast It ain't the dream that he remembers Just a few short years ago Tonite at the truck stop he drinks a cup The waitress grins, winks at him & says"my shift's almost up"SongtexteWith so much riding on the choice at handThe spirit of a boy with a pocket full of plansAnd so much riding on the choice at handThe spirit of a boy, the wisdom of a man
