Gee Golly (Wow Man)
When I was a young man, no lines on my face
The way that I saw you was such a disgrace
But boy now I see you in a different light,
Took my own livin’ to open my eyes.
Gee Golly wow man, don’t life roll along?
Sometimes a DAY seems as short as a song,
Life happens to us as we make other plans,
Better sink deep your roots,
find a niche, make a stand.
Boy stand for something or you’ll fall for anything,
Soon now you’ll not be underneath my wings,
Thank God you were tireless, though I didn’t know,
Your mission of love is now etched on my soul.
Gee Golly wow man, don’t life roll along?
Sometimes a YEAR seems as short as a song,
Life happens to us as we make other plans,
Better sink deep your roots,
find a niche, make a stand.
Now as my own life heads down into Fall,
Me with my own son all gangly and tall,
I’ve come to know as I lecture him too,
I’m tryin’ to be just exactly like you.
Gee Golly Wow Man, don’t life roll along?
Sometimes a LIFE seems as short as a song,
Life happens to us as we make other plans,
Better sink deep your roots,
find a niche, make a stand.
