From the recording Useless Words
Lyrics
If a journey of a thousand miles begins with one small step
And mighty oaks from little acorns grow
If what we cast aside is all we should have kept
And grifters taught us everything we know
And if this boat’s too beat to row
I wonder how we’ll make the show
Just one foot in front of the other
One foot in front of the other
That’s one foot in front of the other
One step done and another begun
If we have to walk a mile before we get to run
And pay the piper when we want to dance
If we crawl like kingsnakes to a season in the sun
And trade our treasure for another chance
We still got pockets in our pants
And all the oo-la-la in France
And one foot in front of the other
One foot in front of the other
Just one foot in front of the other
One step done and another begun
If we join the angels two-steppin’ on a pin
And eat that humble pie until we’re chokin’
If Jesus lets us slide for all the trouble we got in
Maybe then we’ll see he wasn’t joking’
Now honey, I’m sincerely hoping
You remembered ibuprofen
For one foot in front of the other
One foot in front of the other
Just one foot in front of the other
One step done and another begun
That’s one foot in front of the other
One foot in front of the other
Just one foot in front of the other
We’ll have some fun when it’s all done
Some big fun when it’s all done
We’ll have some fun when we get ‘er done
