The holes that he dug

The holes that he dug Lyrics

Little baby boy, sittin round his toys
Gettin tired of crawlin
He's pullin up on an easy chair
He's gonna try a little walkin
He's takin steps
A six year old with a new school bag
Starin down his drive
Holdin on to his mama's hand
he's going on his first bus ride
He's takin steps
A teenage boy in a rented tux
Reaching out a trembling hand
To a pretty young girl in a satin dress
Asking her to dance
(chorus)
Steps, some big, some small
Puttin one foot after the other
Steps, the trick to it all
Is diggin down to find a little courage
and it's okay
to be afraid
You gotta have faith
Life's all about
Steps
For 22 years she stood by a man
Who did her wrong
With a packed suitcase
And a Greyhound ticket, she's finally gone
She's takin steps
At a meeting downtown, a tired old drunk
stands and says his name
That leaves him eleven to go and he can
already feel the change
He's takin steps
Somewhere a great Grandpa says
"I'm ready to go"
Peacefully drifts off to sleep
Wakes up on streets of gold
