Ray Boltz - Thrown Away lyrics

Grandpa and me, every week or so We'd go walking down a country road Looking for something Others drove right past Maybe they were late And they were dogging the throttle Maybe they just Didn't notice the bottles Shining like diamonds in the gra** We would pick them up And we'd cash 'em in He'd look at me and I'd look at him And he'd say CHORUS: Thrown away Can you believe the things They toss aside And leave 'em where they lay? Oh, but they can be saved If you will take the time And try to find the good Along the way Oh, what this world throws away Many years later When my age had doubled I met a man and his name was Trouble He said, Son, I'll give you some advice A family is fine And there's a time you need them But sure enough there will come A time to leave 'em You know you only get one life He was a lonely man Without a single friend He looked at me and I looked at him And I said, CHORUS And maybe someday When the little ones have grown I may have a grandchild of my own And if I do, I can promise you One day we'll walk down a country road CHORUS
