Sister Hazel - Raising a Rookie lyrics
[Sister Hazel - Raising a Rookie lyrics]
If you ain't hard, they won't listen
If you ain't tough then
They will never understand
Cause they're strong like wild horses
They're crazy as the wind
Cause they don't know what's coming
And they rarely choose the way
That you had planned
So, you watch them learn from falling
And help them up if you can
Raising a rookie doing the best we can
Helping them find their way
It takes more than years to make a man
Raising a rookie
All I can do is light the road
I know it's a heavy load, sometimes
God knows I'm trying
You see what makes them special
And you'd do everything and anything it takes
Just to know that they would make it
Through the trials and the heartaches
Raising a rookie doing the best we can
Helping them find their way
It takes more than years to make a man
Raising a rookie
All I can do is light the road
I know it's a heavy load, sometimes
God knows I'm trying oh, I'm trying
And they teach you to be humble
While the time and the worry line your face
And you learn how to hold your breath
How a desperate heart can pray
Raising a rookie doing the best we can
Helping them find their way
It takes more than years to make a man
Raising a rookie
All I can do is light the road
I know it's a heavy load, sometimes
God knows I'm trying raising a rookie
Doing the best we can
Helping them find their way
It takes more than years to make a man
Raising a rookie
All I can do is light the road
I know it's a heavy load, sometimes
God knows I'm trying
If you ain't tough then
They will never understand
Cause they're strong like wild horses
They're crazy as the wind
Cause they don't know what's coming
And they rarely choose the way
That you had planned
So, you watch them learn from falling
And help them up if you can
Raising a rookie doing the best we can
Helping them find their way
It takes more than years to make a man
Raising a rookie
All I can do is light the road
I know it's a heavy load, sometimes
God knows I'm trying
You see what makes them special
And you'd do everything and anything it takes
Just to know that they would make it
Through the trials and the heartaches
Raising a rookie doing the best we can
Helping them find their way
It takes more than years to make a man
Raising a rookie
All I can do is light the road
I know it's a heavy load, sometimes
God knows I'm trying oh, I'm trying
And they teach you to be humble
While the time and the worry line your face
And you learn how to hold your breath
How a desperate heart can pray
Raising a rookie doing the best we can
Helping them find their way
It takes more than years to make a man
Raising a rookie
All I can do is light the road
I know it's a heavy load, sometimes
God knows I'm trying raising a rookie
Doing the best we can
Helping them find their way
It takes more than years to make a man
Raising a rookie
All I can do is light the road
I know it's a heavy load, sometimes
God knows I'm trying
