There ain't a road in tis world that ain't rocky
There ain't a moment without struggle everyday
There ain't a door on which trouble don't come knockin
So I'm sorry if I made it harder for you in anyway
There ain't a city in this world stand forever
There's hardly a thing anyone can say that's really true
Anything can be done but someone else can do it better
But I'll try my best to always stand by you
And I've been unkind
But I'll turn it around Gracie
By and by
There ain't a house in this land without sorrow
There ain't a person who hasn't stepped on someone's toes
There ain't a warranty if the sun breaks down tomorrow
There ain't a face that never had a bloody nose
There ain't a thing to learn that will not be forgotten
There ain't a life to live that's different from my own
There ain't ear that ain't sometimes filled with cotton
And I've got two that I've been trying to unload
And I've been deaf and blind
But I'll turn it around Gracie
By and by
And I've paid you no mind
But I'll turn it around Gracie
By and by
