was only a few years ago

since i bought my friend's car and i moved far

a long long way down

a long, long way from home

not really knowin where i was goin

but just knowing i had to hit the road

just a poor boy

just a poor old wandering soul

never thought twice about my life or my identity

selling everything that i own

cashing in both my loans

and i sacrificed that old college degree

oh just to be what i wanted to be

just to see everything that i always hoped that

i'd always see

and there's a great life's work in front me

i'd never heard that it'd ever come so easy

cause all i know is that there's only one thing

left to believe

i got my work cut out for me

i got my work cut out for me

never once did i ever feel that i'd ever be alone

cause i always had the best of my friends

and the rest of my family out there with me

everywhere that i go

and it's behind closed eyes i see them smiling

and they're laughing and clapping and oh they're

having a ball

with their little boy lost who is trying

and he'll try it all

but there's a great deal of life's work in front

of me

i never thought that i'd ever be oh so easy

cause i never heard that it's only one else and

it's only one thing to believe

i got my work cut out for me

i got my work cut out for me

and some day the words don't work

and i forget all about what i've spoken for

but god knows it doesn't hurt

i gotta keep on, keep on keepin on

because i'll make more

and there's a great life's work in front of me

i never dreamed, and i never hoped it'd ever be

easy

but i left home with the only thing that my daddy

taught me, boy

said son you gotta believe it

i got my work cut out for me

i got my work cut out for me

i got my work cut out for me

i got my work cut out for me
