i am no stranger to the trail,
i have no clever master plan,
i may win, i may fail,
but i will take it like a man.
i travel light, ive learned to drift,
put no roots into this land,
every new day is a gift,
ive learned to take it like a man.
ive had a fortune there to hold,
felt it slip out of my hand,
all my silver and my gold,
ive learned to waste it like a man.
there was a woman in the past,
and a golden wedding band,
though i held her soul and heart,
i learned to break it like a man.
(guitar)
and when i reach that final day,
and my rode comes to an end,
with my final breath i pray,
that i will take it like a man...
