Ty Herndon Lyrics
"A Few Short Years"

Go!

We headed out of Kansas
In a flat bed Ford
Just a couple hundred dollars
You and me and the Lord
We didn't know where we were going
We just knew we had to go
Anywhere was better than Trudy's Heringnades
Working at a single pump Texaco

And maybe it's crazy and we should have planned better
Saved a little money from the little we made
Guess we should have waited for a better moment
Never taking that chance and played it safe
Sometimes you gotta dance with danger
Sometimes you gotta face your fears
What's life if you ain't gonna live it
Nothing but a few short years

Alright

Well I took a job in Pittsburgh
Working in a steel mill
And if they hadn't gone busted
I guess we'd be there still
We had a desperate situation
Laying in our laps
Girl I thought that you were kidding when you looked at me and said
Lets just throw a dart at that old road map

And maybe it's crazy and we should have planned better
Saved a little money from the little we made
Guess we should have waited for a better moment
Never taking that chance and played it safe
Sometimes you gotta dance with danger
Sometimes you gotta face your fears
What's life if you ain't gonna live it
Nothing but a few short years

Here we are by our little Coleman camper
Dancing by the light of the KOA
And its something how we made it and we gave it all back
Just to chase the promise of a brand new day

And maybe it's crazy and we should have planned better
Saved a little money from the little we made
Guess we should have waited for a better moment
Never taking that chance and played it safe
Sometimes you gotta dance with danger
Sometimes you gotta face your fears
What's life if you ain't gonna live it
Nothing but a few short years

A few short years
Yeah baby
