Spirit of a Boy, Wisdom of a Man

Spirit of a Boy, Wisdom of a Man - The Hit Crew

He was sixteen

Tender and tough

She was too and he'd

Do anything to prove his love

With so much riding

On the choice at hand

The spirit of a boy

Or the wisdom of a man

Hearts caught fire

And love ran wild

She cried the day she called

To say she was having his child

With so much riding

On the choice at hand

The spirit of a boy

Or the wisdom of a man

There's a constant contradiction

What feels good and what feels right

But you live with decisions

That you make in your life

And what steers your direction

Is hard to understand

The spirit of a boy

Or the wisdom of a man

Now he drives a diesel out of Dallas

Hauling cars out to the coast

It ain't the dream that he remembered

Just a few short years ago

But tonight at a truck stop

While drinking a cup

The waitress grins and winks

At him and says

"My shift's almost up"

With so much riding

On the choice at hand

The spirit of a boy

Or the wisdom of a man

With so much riding

On the choice at hand

The spirit of a boy

Or the wisdom of a man
