Rocking of the Cradle Lyrics by Rodney Atkins

It’s America

0

[Verse 1]
I want to live with no excuses
And love with no regrets
Take the bad with the good
And know I did my best
Walkin' in the sunshine
And dancin' in the rain
From the rocking of the cradle
To the rolling of that long black limousine
[Chorus]
From Rock-A-Bye Sweet Baby
Until I hear the angels sing
From momma's tender kisses
Until I board that glory train
I want to love the life I'm living
And live the life I dream
From the rockin' of the cradle
To the rolling of that long black limousine
[Verse 2]
I can't mend this world with nothin'
And that's how I'll leave someday
And all that I'll take with me
Is the love I gave away
And it's love that makes a difference
From a pauper to a king
From the rockin' of the cradle
To the rolling of that long black limousine
[Chorus]
[Bridge]
So roll on, roll on
Tell the story, turn the pages
Roll on, roll on
Children of all ages
From the first breath that we take
'Till our last one takes us home
Let love be the rock we're standin' on
[Chorus]
[Outro]
From the rocking of the cradle
To the rolling of that long black limousine
I want to live with no excuses
And love with no regrets
