[solo lead vocal — no backing vocals, no harmonies, single vocal track only] Yeah,
listen
up
now
Life's
a
wild
ride,
y'all
Whoo!
Well
the
sun
is
beatin'
down
on
the
hood
of
my
Ford
It
feels
like
a
blessing
straight
from
the
Lord
But
I
know
that
the
clouds,
they’
re
waitin'
out
west
Life
puts
your
spirit
to
the
ultimate
test
Don't
get
too
high
when
the
money
is
flowin'
Don't
get
too
low
when
the
wind
starts
blowin'
'Cause
the
seasons
change
like
the
turning
of
a
page
We're
all
just
players
on
a
dusty
stage
'Cause
no
condition
is
permanent,
that's
the
truth
From
the
gravel
roads
back
in
our
wild
youth
When
the
sun
shines
bright,
man,
you
gotta
soak
it
in
'Cause
the
rain
is
comin'
back
around
again
No
matter
how
dark
the
shadows
might
grow
Keep
your
head
held
high,
baby,
let
it
show
Yeah,
no
condition
is
permanent,
no,
it
won't
stay
The
light's
gonna
find
you
at
the
break
of
day
Some
days
we’
re
cryin'
in
a
whiskey
glass
Watchin'
the
good
times
fade
in
the
grass
Some
days
we’
re
partyin'
underneath
the
stars
Playin'
our
stories
on
these
beat-up
guitars
But
there’
s
always
a
solution
if
you
look
for
the
spark
There's
always
a
candle
to
light
up
the
dark
So
tighten
your
boots,
stand
tall
in
the
grit
Don't
you
ever
give
up,
don't
you
ever
quit
'Cause
no
condition
is
permanent,
that's
the
truth
From
the
gravel
roads
back
in
our
wild
youth
When
the
sun
shines
bright,
man,
you
gotta
soak
it
in
'Cause
the
rain
is
comin'
back
around
again
No
matter
how
dark
the
shadows
might
grow
Keep
your
head
held
high,
baby,
let
it
show
Yeah,
no
condition
is
permanent,
no,
it
won't
stay
The
light's
gonna
find
you
at
the
break
of
day
And
when
you
find
love,
you
better
love
deep
Don't
leave
a
promise
that
you
can't
keep
'Cause
we
don't
know
the
hour,
we
don't
know
the
end
So
treat
every
stranger
like
your
best
damn
friend
Live
like
it’
s
your
last,
throw
your
heart
in
the
ring
Listen
to
the
song
that
the
wind
is
gonna
sing
That's
right!
So
when
the
cold
wind
bites
and
the
winter
is
long
Remember
the
melody
of
this
here
song
It
won't
last
forever,
the
thaw
is
comin'
near
Just
keep
on
movin',
cast
away
your
fear
Lord
have
mercy,
we’
ve
been
down
that
road
But
we
carried
the
weight
and
we
lightened
the
load
So
keep
on
dancin'
till
the
morning
light
Everything’
s
gonna
be
alright
'Cause
no
condition
is
permanent,
that's
the
truth
From
the
gravel
roads
back
in
our
wild
youth
When
the
sun
shines
bright,
man,
you
gotta
soak
it
in
'Cause
the
rain
is
comin'
back
around
again
No
matter
how
dark
the
shadows
might
grow
Keep
your
head
held
high,
baby,
let
it
show
Yeah,
no
condition
is
permanent,
no,
it
won't
stay
The
light's
gonna
find
you
at
the
break
of
day
No,
it
won't
stay
Yeah,
the
light's
comin'
Keep
on
livin',
keep
on
lovin'
Yeah,
yee-haw!
It’
s
all
gonna
be
alright (
