Richard Schroder | We All Start Somewhere

He was a military brat, it was hard to make friends
Went to four schools by the time he was ten
Those times were tough, had to learn to fit in
Had to play the hand he was dealt
His daddy was always gone or coming home late
His brother was a sinner, his momma was a saint
She'd say, "Rise up from this and make something of yourself"

CHORUS:
We all start somewhere, where we from there
Is a heck of a ride, it can turn on a dime
We're all living on a prayer
There'll be uphill battles you gotta face
Everybody's taken a fall from grace
You gotta get up, get up, get up
Don't worry you'll get there
We all start somewhere

Just shy of 17, when he left home
Hit that highway for the great unknown
Took a few wrong turns, met a girl who saved his soul
Gave him the faith to begin again
They got a little apartment on the wrong side of town
Ramen noodles every night, living hand to mouth
She'd say, "Hey baby, they can't keep us down"
They've come a long way since then

CHORUS

Sometimes we gotta change direction, screw perfection
A bump in the road can be the mother of invention

CHORUS
