Lucinda Jones workin' at the I-Hop   Ten years worth of bacon, eggs an' tears   She's waited on every creed an' color   While waitin' on this day to get here      Graveyard shifts, two big tips   Makin' every quarter count   Was worth it all to see her son   In that cap an' gown      There are times in life when you gotta crawl   Lose your grip, trip an' fall   When you can't lean on no one else   That's when you find yourself      I've been around an' I've noticed that   Walkin's easier when the road is flat   Them danged ol' heels'll get you every time   Yeah, the good Lord gave us mountains   So we could learn how to climb      Bobby, Bobby Dunn came back from the war   Lost his leg but they couldn't take his will   Hell bent to run in that local marathon   He trained through the endless pain an' pills      It hurt so bad that sometimes   He just had to cry   He didn't stop until he crossed   That finish line      There are times in life when you gotta crawl   Lose your grip, trip an' fall   When you can't lean on no one else   That's when you find yourself      I've been around an' I've noticed that   Walkin's easier when the road is flat   Them danged ol' heels'll get you every time   Yeah, the good Lord gave us mountains   So we could learn how to climb      This world ain't fair   It can knock you on your butt   You can just lie there   Or you can get back up   You gotta get back up      There are times in life when you gotta crawl   Lose your grip, trip an' fall   When you can't lean on no one else   That's when you find yourself      I've been around an' I've noticed that   Walkin's easier when the road is flat   Them danged ol' heels'll get you every time   Yeah, the good Lord gave us mountains   (The good Lord gave us mountains)   So we could learn how to climb, yeah, oh
