The Game from Tall Tales by Chris Gilburg

There’s an old saying that goes like this
Don’t count on your chicks til they hatch
When you walk out of that door today
Never count your blessings last
There may be something around the bend
That makes you wanna jump that fence
Watch out for the things that you didn’t expect
It might put you to the test

CHORUS…

Go out and try real hard, everyone
Put your body to the test
There’s no shame if you lose the game
As long as you did your best

Put your best foot out in front of the rest
Don’t look down on the people that you meet
One way to know, one way to test
Is how you treat the folks on the street
It’s hard to keep some things hidden inside
Dam! Sometimes it’s just hard to smile
But a man can get used to most anything
If he tries and tries and tries for a while

The mirror is a thing you gotta look into
Do you like what you see staring back at you
Life’s a compromise so don’t tell lies
And no one cries
Then you’ll never have any explaining, to do

There is a walk one day we all gotta take
So always give the best that you can give
The one thing we all want in life’s,
A fair shake
So remember to live and let live, live, live
