I've been taking stock and I've been taking time
I've been thinking about the ones I've left behind
One step for the future, another for the past
I've been steady walking, enjoying going nowhere fast
What's for you won't go by you
If you just take it slow
Keep one eye on the sky
And keep one on the road___
I've been thinking about the ones who can't be here
Every drop I'm drinking seems to draw them near
One shot for my father, another for my son
One to keep the ghosts at bay 'til the new day comes
What's for you won't go by you
If you just take it slow
Keep one eye on the sky
And keep one on the road___
I've been running this highway, I've searched high and low
It seems that I find something everywhere I go
One's the hand of friendship, one's the open door
One's the joy of never knowing what I'm heading for
What's for you won't go by you
If you just take it slow
Keep one eye on the sky
And keep one on the road__
What's for you won't go by you
If you just take it slow
Keep one eye on the sky
And keep one on the road___
