Lucinda Jones, working at IHOP
Ten years worth of bacon, eggs and tears
She's waited on every creed and color

While waiting on this day to get here
Graveyard shifts, two big tips
Making every quarter count

Was worth it all to see her son
In that cap and gown


There are times in life when you gotta crawl
Lose your grip, trip and fall
When you can't lean on no-one else

That's when you find yourself
I've been around and I've noticed that
Walking's easier when the road is flat

Them danged ole hiils'll get you every time
Yeah, the good Lord gave us mountains
So we could learn how to climb


Bobby, Bobby Dunn came back from the war
Lost his leg but they couldn't take his will

Hell bent to run in that local marathon
He trained through the endless pain and pills
It hurt so bad that sometimes he just had to cry

He didn't stop until he crossed that finish line

There are times in life when you gotta crawl

Lose your grip, trip and fall
When you can't lean on no-one else
That's when you find yourself

I've been around and I've noticed that
Walkin's easier when the road is flat
Them danged ole hiils'll get you every time

Yeah, the good Lord gave us mountains
So we could learn how to climb


This world ain't fair
It can knock you on your butt
You can just lie there

Or you can get back up
You gotta get back up


There are times in life when you gotta crawl
Lose your grip, trip and fall
When you can't lean on no-one else

That's when you find yourself
I've been around and I've noticed that
Walkin's easier when the road is flat

Them danged ol' hiils'll 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
