On a Greyhound thirty miles beyond Jamestown He saw the sun set on the Tennessee line Looked at the young man who was riding beside him He said I'm old, kind of worn out insideI worked my whole life in the steel mills near Gary My father before me, I helped build this land Now seventy-seven and with God as my witness I earned every dollar that passed through my handsMy family and friends are the best things I've known Through the eye of the needle I'll carry them homeRain hit the old dog in the twilight's last gleaming He said, "Son it sounds like rattling old bones" This highway is long but I know some that are longer By sun up tomorrow I guess I'll be homeThe hills of Kentucky cross the Ohio river The old man kept talking 'bout his life and his times He fell asleep with his head against the window He said an honest man's pillow is his peace of mindThis world offers riches and riches will grow wings And I don't take stock in those uncertain thingsDays turn to minutes and minutes to memories Life sweeps away the dreams we have planned You are young and you are the future Suck it up and tough it out, be the best you canThe old man had a vision, it was hard for me to follow I do things my way, pay an awfully high price When I think back on the old man and the bus ride Now that I'm older I can see he was rightAnother hot one out on highway eleven This is my life, it's what I've chosen to do There's no free rides and no one said it'd be easy The old man told me this my son I'm telling it to youDays turn to minutes and minutes to memories Life sweep away the dreams we have planned You are young and you are the future Suck it up and tough it out, be the best you can
