Spirit Of A Boy, Wisdom Of A Man Lyrics - Randy Travis

He was sixteen, tender and tough 

She was too and he'd do anything to prove his love 

With so much ridin' on the choice at hand 

The spirit of a boy or the wisdom of a man

Hearts caught fire and love ran wild 

She cried the day she called to say she was havin' his child 

With so much ridin' on the choice at hand 

The spirit of a boy or the wisdom of a man 

There's a constant contradiction 

What feels good and what feels right 

But you live with decisions 

That you make in your life 

And what steers your direction 

Is hard to understand 

The spirit of a boy or the wisdom of a man 

Photos 

Now he drives a diesel out of Dallas 

Haulin' cars out to the coast 

It ain't the dream that he remembers 

Just a few short years ago 

But tonight at a truckstop 

While drinkin' a cup 

The waitress grins and winks at him 

Says my shift's almost up 

With so much ridin' on the choice at hand 

The spirit of a boy or the wisdom of a man 

The spirit of a boy or the wisdom of a man
