Lyrics: Learn To Live

Grandpa Campbell would sit upon his front porch
And I'd be right there, just sitting on his knee
He'd tell stories of love and feast and famine
And I'd hang on to every word that he would breathe
He'd said boy as you walk through this life
Here's a little wisdom that'll help you get by

You gotta live and learn
You gotta crash and burn
You gotta make some stances
And take some chances
You gotta live and love
And take all life has to give
You gotta live and learn
So you can learn to live

Well, I left home and I went to Carolina
I then set off just to see what I could see
I did some things that I wasn't really proud of
Sometimes life just got the best of me
But I'd always think back to those days
And I know what Grandpa Campbell would say
He'd say

You gotta live and learn
You gotta crash and burn
You gotta make some stances
And take some chances
You gotta live and love
And take all life has to give
You gotta live and learn
So you can learn to live

After years of runnin' round and searchin'
I found me a woman who loves me just for me
All those mistakes I thought that I was makin'
Led me right here to you sittin' on my knee
Son, as you walk through this life
Here's a little wisdom that'll help you get by

You gotta live and learn
You gotta crash and burn
You gotta make some stances
You gotta take some chances
You gotta live and love
And take all life has to give
You gotta live and learn
You gotta live and learn
So you can learn to live
Learn to live
