There's do'ers and don'ters and I wills and won'ters and them, that don't even try Givers and takers, movers and shakers And them that are just passing by
Skidrows and winos and some folks that I know That don't do like I think they should I thought they were livin' their lifes all wrong Long, before I understood
We all have to walk our own road We can't always go where we're told In the end where it'll end up - the Lord only knows But we all have to walk our own road
I've had some good times and I've had a good life And I've had things goin' my way I've walked the highground and treasures that I've found An' women who brightened my day
Then there were times I was caught in the crosswinds With life - goin' 'round and around Like a ship with no sails, I was caught in a gale Til I fin'ly just ran it a-ground
We all have to walk our own road We can't always go where we're told In the end where it'll end up - the Lord only knows But we all have to walk our own road
We all have to walk our own road We can't always go where we're told In the end where it'll end up - the Lord only knows But we all have to walk our own road.
