You’ve been living fancy fine You’ve been doing as you please This life of your design Will bring you to your knees
‘Cause there is no road so rough Even angels feel the tread But when you lose enough No more circus and no more bread
Put your foot upon the path Put your hands upon a plow Never be afraid to laugh Just be glad that you know how You can turn your head away You can drive against the wind You may leave another day You may never laugh again
You could read your heart Like a book upon the shelf Would you wrestle with the part Be afraid to be yourself
‘Cause the lines are very thin Your bluff is already called It’s a long, hard road of sin And that first step feels like a fall
Put your foot upon the path Put your hands upon a plow Never be afraid to laugh Just be glad that you know how You can turn your head away You can drive against the wind You may leave another day You may never laugh again
