There's do'ers and don'ters and I wills and won'ters

and them, that don't even try

Givers and takers, movers and shakers

Skidrows and winos and some folks that I know

I thought they were livin' their lifes all wrong

Long, before I understood
[Refrão] G D
We all have to walk our own road

We can't always go where we're told
G D G
In the end where it'll end up - the Lord only knows

But we all have to walk our own road

I've had some good times and I've had a good life
G D
And I've had things goin' my way
G D
I've walked the highground and treasures that I've found
E A
An' women who brightened my day
D
Then there were times I was caught in the crosswinds

With life - goin' 'round and around

Like a ship with no sail I was caught in a gale
D A D
Til I fin'ly just ran it a-ground
