The Journey of Your Life - Lyrics - Jake Owen

Joshua Ryan "Jake" Owen is an American country music artist. Signed to RCA Nashville in 2006, he released his debut album Startin' with Me that year. This album produced three singles, all of which reached Top 20 on the Billboard Hot Country Songs chart: his debut single "Yee Haw", "Startin' with Me", and "Something About a Woman". A second album, 2009's Easy Does It, has accounted for three more singles: "Don't Think I Can't Love You", "Eight Second Ride", and "Tell Me". In September 2011, Owen achieved his first number-one hit on the country charts with the title track to his third album Barefoot Blue Jean Night, as did with "Alone with You", "The One That Got Away", and "Anywhere with You". His fourth album, Days of Gold produced two singles with its title track, which broke the Top 20 in 2014, and the number one single "Beachin'".

Well he was old school in overalls Tough as nails as I recall He fought a war and came back home Honest as the day was long And right before my grandpa died he looked me right straight in the eyes Said here's some words to get you by To help you on the journey of your life You'll need a hero And a good dog Especially a good dog A hammer and a handsaw Bandaid now and then You'll need a home to come home to Son we all need a refuge On the straight and narrow path You need to learn to bend Get a good square and keep it level Have grace to face the devil You need an angel flying by your side On the journey of your life Ride the wind 'til we meet again On the other side of life You'll need some good luck and a Bible Especially a Bible A lot of faith in god above And a woman you can love You'll need a good song that you can sing on And a shoulder you can lean on And you gotta draw the line sometimes when push comes to shove You'll need to lose some to be a winner Have courage to surrender you'll need to Laugh a lot and keep it light On the journey of your life And no matter what dreams you're chasing Never get above your raising May the simple things be amazing On the journey of your life He said I'll be the angel flying by your side On the journey of your life
