They headed out the door in a hurry
They said there was reason to be worried
I called in the middle of the night
The doctor said he's not gonna win this fight
You never know what life will bring you next
You gotta roll with the punches and do your best
Life is an open road
paved with memories Looking back,
you're better like what you see
Life is an open road
paved with memories Life is an open road
His grandpa lay in the hospital bed
You could tell by his breathing that it wouldn't
be long now It was the last time he'd see him alive
He had to go on his own for the rest of his life
You never know what life will bring you next
You gotta roll with the punches and do your
best Life is an open road
paved with memories
Looking back,
you're better like what you see
Life is an open road paved with memories
Life is an open road
Before he left he whispered to the old man
Though you're leaving,
this is not the end
The things you taught me will carry on
Through my children and their daughters and sons
You never know what life will bring you next
You gotta roll with the punches and do your best
Life is an open road
paved with memories Looking back,
you're better like what you see
Life is an open road paved with memories Life is an open road
Life is an open road paved with memories Looking back,
you're better like what you see
Life is an open road paved with memories Life
is an open road
