As Life Goes On Lyrics by Matt Williams

You’ll Make Her Cry

2015

[Verse 1]
I was fishing on the old county lake one day
Taking in the sun, and I heard a man say
Can I sit right here
I said sure, go ahead
He asked me my name, I introduced myself
Said good to meet you son, now why you sitting by yourself
I said I got to get away from it all
And this is where I go
He just laughed, and said you got it all wrong
Lemme tell you a story, it won't take long
[Chorus]
You gotta work real hard, to put food on the plate
Treat your woman like it's ya'll's first date
Say your prayers with your kids at night
Before they go to sleep
Hold your family close, and have pride in what you got
Keep your common sense, when your temper gets hot
And know the roads you travel down
Son, you ain't alone
These are things you're gonna learn, as life goes on
[Verse 2]
I knew he could see, from the look in my eyes
Every word he said, hit me deep inside
He said enjoy your fishin' son
Guess I'll be on my way
Now he stood up with a tap on my arm
Like most old men, in their southern style charm
And I said, thank you sir
I hope I see you around
He said don't thank me, thank the Lord up above
And remember what I said, son, when life gets tough
[Chorus]
You gotta work real hard, to put food on the plate
Treat your woman like it's ya'll's first date
Say your prayers with your kids at night
Before they go to sleep
Hold your family close, and have pride in what you got
Keep your common sense, when your temper gets hot
And know the roads you travel down
Son, you ain't alone
These are things you're gonna learn, as life goes on
[Verse 3]
And walking in the door, late that afternoon
Saw the love in their eyes, as I came in the room
And I knew right then and there
That old man was right
I grabbed my girl and said I love you
And with you in my life, there's nothing I can't do
[Chorus]
I'm gonna work real hard to put food on the plate
And treat you, baby, like it's our first date
Say my prayers with our kids at night
Before they go to sleep
I'm gonna hold you close, and have pride in what we've got
Keep my common sense, when our tempers get hot
And know the road we travel down
Girl, we ain't alone
These are things we're gonna learn, as life goes on
As life goes on
