Put Your Foot Upon The Path

Lyrics

You've been living fancy fine
 You've been doing as you please
 This life of your design
 Will bring you to your knees
 'Cause there is no road so rough
 Even angels fear to tread
 But when you lose enough
 No more circus and no more bread
 Put your foot upon the path
 Put your hand upon a plow
 Never be afraid to laugh
 Just be glad that you know how
 You can turn your head away
 You can drive against the wind
 You may live another day
 You may never laugh again
 
 You could read your heart
 Like a book up on a shelf
 Would you wrestle with the part
 Be afraid to be yourself?
 'Cause the lines are very thin
 Your bluff is already called
 It's a long, hard road of sin
 And that first step feels like a fall
 Put your foot upon the path
 Put your hand upon a plow
 Never be afraid to laugh
 Just be glad that you know how
 You can turn your head away
 You can drive against the wind
 You may live another day
 You may never laugh again
 You may never laugh again
