Owen, Jake - The Journey Of Your Life Lyrics






Well he was old school in overalls
Tough as nails as I recall
He fought a war and came back home
Honest as the day was long
And right before my grandpa died he looked me right straight in the eyes
Said here's some words to get you by
To help you on the journey of your life

You'll need a hero
And a good dog
Especially a good dog
A hammer and a handsaw
Band aid now and then
You'll need a home to come home to
Son we all need a refuge
On the straight and narrow path
You need to learn to bend
Get a good square and keep it level
Have grace to face the devil
You need an angel flying by your side
On the journey of your life

Ride the wind 'til we meet again
On the other side of life
You'll need some good luck and a Bible
Especially a Bible
A lot of faith in god above
And a woman you can love
You'll need a good song that you can sing on
And a shoulder you can lean on
And you gotta draw the line sometimes when push comes to shove
You'll need to lose some to be a winner
Have courage to surrender you'll need to
Laugh a lot and keep it light
On the journey of your life

And no matter what dreams you're chasing
Never get above your raising
May the simple things be amazing
On the journey of your life

He said I'll be the angel flying by your side
On the journey of your life

    Beautiful song, Jake. One of my favorites. Done in the Jake Owen way. I can feel the emotions that you go through as you sing. You're music never fails to touch my heart and move me. You only get better and better as time passes. Love the stories you share of your Family. Love you so much. <3

    I love that, "Son we all need a refuge." But my refuge is actually church. I always feel safe in the house of God. The father, the son, and the holy spirit are where I seek refuge. No house on the whole of the Earth could make me feel as safe. Good song.

    What a great song.  I memorized every word so that I can share this simple wisdom with my son Matthew who is becoming a man on the Journey of his life.  It is truly sad that so many young men do not have the chance to listen to the wisdom of their  Fathers or Grand-fathers.
