Lucinda Jones workin at the IHOP:
Ten years worth of bacon, eggs an tears

Shes waited on every creed an color,
While waitin on this day to get here

Graveyard shifts, two bit tips,
Makin every quarter count,
Was worth it all to see her son,
In that cap an gown

There are times in life
when you gotta crawl,
Lose your grip, trip an fall
When you cant lean on no-one else:
Thats when you find yourself
Ive been around and Ive noticed that
Walkins easy when the road is flat
Them danged ol hillsll get you every time
Yeah the good Lord gave us mountains,
So we could learn how to climb

Private Bobby Dunn came back from the war
Lost his leg but they couldnt take his will

Hell bent to run in that local marathon
He trained through the endless pain an pills

It hurt so bad that sometimes
He just had to cry
He didnt stop until he crossed
That finish line

There are times in life when you gotta crawl
Lose your grip trip an fall
When you cant lean on no one else
Thats when you find yourself
Ive been around and Ive noticed that
Walkins easy when the road is flat
Them danged ol hillsll get you every time
Yeah the good Lord gave us mountains
So we could learn how to climb

This world aint fair
It can knock you on your butt
You can just lie there
Or youcan get back up
You gotta get back up

There are times in life when you gotta crawl
Lose your grip, trip an fall
When you cant lean on no one else
Thats when you find yourself
Ive been around and Ive noticed that
Walkins easy when the road is flat
Them danged ol hillsll get you every time
Yeah, the good Lord gave us mountains
The good Lord gave us mountains
So we could learn how to climb

Yeah, oh
