He's got a mountain of bills He's got dirt on his hands There's been 3 generations that's been working the land Here's his grandaddy's ghost saying "Son everyone gotta face their own hard truth And might be up to you To do the hardest thing you'll ever have to do" Holdin' on Lettin' go Right or wrong It's hard to know You do your best Leave the rest to Chance Fate God or grace Whatever gets you through She can't stand the fear In her little boy's eyes Daddy's come home acting crazy Too many times Mama's on the telephone line sayin', "Child sometimes you gotta think about more than you And you might be forced to choose the hardest thing you'll ever have to do" Holdin' on Lettin' go Right or wrong It's hard to know
You do your best Leave the rest to Chance Fate God or grace Whatever gets you through Whatever gets you through Now everyone's gonna find themselves a Fork in the road No clear direction Wonderin' which way to go And it hurts like hell But your concious burns Anyway you turn you lose Sometime's just gettin' through Might be the hardest thing you'll ever have to do Holdin' on Lettin' go Right or wrong It's hard to know You do your best Leave the rest to Chance Fate God or grace Whatever gets you through Whatever gets you through (Hardest thing, hardest thing) Might be your hardest thing to do (Hardest thing, hardest thing) (Hardest thing, hardest thing) You just might face your own truth
