Right On Down the Line Songtext
von Robbie Rhodes

My dad called me up, he didn′t sound right
The doctor said, he'll be fightin′ for his life
News no one ever wants to hear
That tough old guy didn't show no fear

He said the Bible gives us three-score and ten
The rest is borrowed time
Make the most to the end
We waist our lives by looking back
Son live your life by looking ahead
He told me

Life is a one-way ticket
On a train we all must ride
Love and faith will keep you going
To the other side
I wish that I could stay
But I know that you'll be fine
I gotta step off here
But you keep ridin′ right on down the line


Days turned into week, turned into months
A lifetime of lessons all at once
He taught me how to live, and how to die
Looking back, I see his long goodbye

He talked about life, he talked about love
I think that he felt
Like he′d finished his job
And in the quite still his words were clear
The things he needed me to hear
He told me

Life is a one-way ticket
On a train we all must ride
Love and faith will keep you going
To the other side
I wish that I could stay
But I know that you'll be fine
I gotta step off here
But you keep ridin′ right on down the line


Waisted time with foolish pride
Take a look around
No one gets out alive
Life goes by way too fast
He was there for my first breath
I was there for his last

Life is a one-way ticket
On a train we all must ride
Love and faith will keep you going
To the other side
I wish that I could stay
But I know that you'll be fine
I gotta step off here
But you keep ridin′ right on down the line

Life is a one-way ticket
On a train we all must ride
Love and faith will keep you going
To the other side
I wish that I could stay
But I know that you'll be fine
I gotta step off here
But you keep ridin′ right on down the line
