TRAVELIN' ADVICES w&m: Bill Mallonee BMI c. 2019
I gotta tell ya' kid...there are no guarantees
Life has her fingers crossed, w/ every promise that she makes
and never be ashamed to get down on your knees
don't let the brutish world steal your faith
don't let the world steal your faith

in the basic goodness...of everyone you meet
people hardly speak...of that heavy load within
and try to learn to listen...from the heart now & again
after all we're all livin' in the same skin
we're all living in the same skin

Call 'em travelin' advices; or call 'em pious platitudes
A good wife? She's a treasure beyond all that folks call wealth
And through every losing streak...you gotta learn to preach
that sermon about Mercy to yourself
that sermon about Mercy to yourself

If I could ask the good Lord...for a solitary gift
I've known just what I'd request for long while
In the face of greed and hate...masquerading as "great"
I'd melt their cold hearts with just a smile
melt their cold hearts with just a smile...
