Days Between The Dust

Days Between the Dust

I was talking with my grandpa, he was way on up in years.
When he spoke about the past you could see the misty tears.
He said “Son don’t take for granted a single minute on this earth.
Cause the way you spend your time, is what you’re really worth”.

He said you can always make more money, but you can’t have too much love.
And you won’t get too far without the good Lord up above.
Be a man of your word, be a man that you would trust.
And just do the the best you can with the days between the dust.

The dust is where we came from and it’s where we’ll return.
Life is all the choices, from the lessons that we learn.
We can us what we’re given, or we can let it go to rust.
Life is what you make of the days between the dust

Times they are changing, it all goes by so fast.
It’s getting harder to find anything that’s built to last.
But the only thing I’ll leave when my dust is all you find,
Is the love that I gave to the ones I leave behind.

The dust is where we came from and it’s where we’ll return.
Life is all the choices, from the lessons that we learn.
We can us what we’re given, or we can let it go to rust.
Life is what you make of the days between the dust
