Album:

You And You Alone

He was sixteen, tender and tough

She was too, and he'd do anything to prove his love

With so much riding on the choice at hand

The spirit of a boy or the wisdom of a man



Hearts caught fire and love ran wild

She cried the day she called to say she was having his child

With so much riding on the choice at hand

The spirit of a boy or the wisdom of a man



There's a constant contradiction, what feels good and what feels right

But you live with decisions that you make in your life

And what steers your direction is hard to understand

The spirit of a boy or the wisdom of a man



Now he drives a diesel out of Dallas, hauling cars out to the coast

It ain't the dream that he remembered, just a few short years ago

But tonight at a truck stop, while drinking a cup

The waitress grins and winks at him and says, "My shift's almost up"



With so much riding on the choice at hand

The spirit of a boy or the wisdom of a man

With so much riding on the choice at hand

The spirit of a boy or the wisdom of a man
