Jerry Jeff Walker - The Road You Choose lyrics

Django Walker Skinny young kid who sits in the back of the cla** Nobody knows his name, nobody cares to ask They just sit up front and tell him he won't go far Not knowing one day he'll grow up to be a movie star Chorus: Got to hold your head up high if you're gonna see at all Got to put your foot above the rest if you're gonna rise at all Got to spread your wings and fly if you don't want to fall 'Cause it's the road that you choose that'll take you through it all Now that kid has grown up to be that movie star Seemed like yesterday people told him he couldn't go far Tonight's his big premiere; he's got tons of fans Next week he's on the late show with David Letterman Chorus He's older now, he's got grey hair and all He's got two teenage kids, John and Paul One of them is having the same problems he did too He just says son hold on here's what you've got to do Chorus
