[Verse 1] There was a time in my younger life Where I hustled every place I went Went up the roads, haulin' heavy loads So I could feed my kids, pay my rent At a rest stop diner, I met a wise old-timer He offered up some good advice I never would forget (This is what he told me, he said)
[Chorus] Keep in between the mayo and the mustard When you're drivin' on the road of life If you start to swervin' at a curve then Ain't nothin' gonna turn out right Just take your time and watch your speed 'Cause it all goes by so fast In this race, there's no first place And you're lucky just to come in last
[Bridge] I guess don't have much to show Never settled down Maybe I was always on the go If anybody asks me why I drive Well, the answer's down the highway Underneath blue skies
[Verse 2] Twenty years of jammin' gears Now I live alone I spend my days on the interstate And my kids have families of their own And at a rest stop diner I'm that wise old-timer Servin' up those lessons That I learned 'em years ago (This is what I tell 'em)
[Chorus] Keep in between the mayo and the mustard When you're drivin' on the road of life If you start to swervin' at a curve then Ain't nothin' gonna turn out right Just take your time and watch your speed 'Cause it all goes by so fast In this race, there's no first place And you're lucky just to come in last
[Outro] I said in this race, there's no fist place And you're lucky just to come in lastTeksty umieszczone na naszej stronie są własnością wytwórni, wykonawców, osób mających do nich prawa.
