Stephen Kellogg And The Sixers - Pedal Steel lyrics

The whole ride home I thought about your life How you were just nineteen when you took a wife Thought of a young man, landing in France Braver then me, the first to show up at the dance I thought what you told me that night in Berlin How you may lose, but there's no way you'll win About leaving your country when you were just ten You came to Wisconsin and they let you in My feels like a Pedal Steel My knows what is real Of all of the books that you told me to read Here's my little secret if you'd stay and won't leave You left me your shirts, a belt buckle of pearl A legacy for me and my girl In this whole crazy life, so big and so small There's so much to enjoy, but you can't do it all So you start everyday with a choice to decide You think of the others who've lived and who've died And you pray you'll take as much away You'll have lived it as well at the end of the day Of all of the things I remember So many times to be missed In the end with a wink and a wave The old man just blew me a kiss Maybe if he'd had a son, things might have been different somehow Maybe I wouldn't have known you, and I wouldn't feel so f**ed up now Maybe if I do my best, if I do everything I can do I'll consider my life a success if I'm anything like you
