I was 5 years old 
When they sent Bobby to Vietnam
He got hurt fighting a war there 
That he still don't understand

I was 6 years old
Got a disease that got no cure
Doctor said 'Son, Life's about to change
It won't be like it was before.'

and Momma held me close 
I could feel her hand shake
Daddy said 'We'll fight this Son
No matter what it takes.'

Through the Ups and Downs
And lots of in betweens
And when your right goes wrong
You'll find something to believe in
Life goes on - World keeps turning
A lesson you keep learning
Sometimes things don't turn out like they should
But It's All Good

When I was just 16
Little Jody broke my heart
She left a big old scar there 
That I still talk about
Now you see love to me
Has always been a rose and a thorn
Momma said 'Yes, that love died
But a big hit song was born'

It seemed ramble then
But maybe she was right
Through the darkness
Comes a brighter light

There'll be Ups and Downs
And lots of in betweens
And when your right goes wrong
You'll find something to believe in
Life goes on - World keeps turning
A lesson you keep learning
Sometimes things don't turn out like they should
But It's All Good

Sometimes when I get tired of the dance
Think back to my friend that never had the chance

(guitar)

You see I have a daughter now
And I tell her stories of where I've been
She just laughs to herself
and says 'There daddy goes again'

Talking about Ups and Downs
And lots of in betweens
And when your right goes wrong
You'll find something to believe in
Life goes on - World keeps turning
A lesson you keep learning
Sometimes things don't turn out like they should
But It's All Good
And bad 
And lots of in betweens
And when your right goes wrong
You'll find something to believe in
Life goes on - World keeps turning
A lesson you keep learning
Sometimes things don't turn out like they should
But It's All Good
