Some days I run a backhoe some days I run a dump.

If I had other plans on my graduation day,

Well I'm thankful for the things I have,
    Em                C
And all the things I don't.

I've got dreams that will come true,
    Em                 C
And I've got some that won't.
D                                   Em          C
Most the time I just walk the line wherever it goes.

Like my cousin Willy, he's locked up in the grange.

He's locked up in the grange.

I've got some that won't.

Most the time I just walk the line wherever it goes.

Then I drive back to the trailer; I'll makeup with my wife.

I kiss my sleeping children, and I get on with my life.
