I remember my grand daddy carvin' on a block of pine He shortly laid his old knife down and opened up his mind He said we never know how long we'll be around I wanna share with you a nugget of truth Somethin' that an old man found Every livin' soul is like a sack of seed You need room to grow and room to breathe There ain't much more I'm sure of, this far down the road 'Cause the longer I live the more I learn just how little I know He said I wish I had a dollar for every bridge I've turned But there's nothin' that'll substitute For the things we live and learn And Lord knows I've lived and I'm still alive And the school of hard knocks has taught me A little horse sense i'll get you by Every livin' soul is like a sack of seed You need room to grow and room to breathe There ain't much more I'm sure of, this far down the road 'Cause the longer I live the more I learn just how little I know Every livin' soul is like a sack of seed You need room to grow and room to breathe There ain't much more I'm sure of, this far down the road 'Cause the longer I live the more I learn just how little I know How little I know
