The One Thing Worth Callin' Your Own

Lacy J. Dalton

Me and this guitar, I've been down a long road
That's ruthless and rugged and rough
And I've got no regrets cause it's been a great ride
I'll say it's been challenge enough
Some days are diamonds and some days are dirt
But every day is different and free
It seems like we're lucky to be here and all
And I found that it helps to believe

In the goodness of God
In the land of the living
And the promise of grapes on the vine
And the solemn conviction
That life ain't worth living
If you ain't got your heart on the line
Cause I've played it winning
And I've played it losing
And I learned this from losing I suppose
If a heart can grow wise when it's tested and tried
It's the one thing worth calling your own
It's the one thing worth calling your own

So a few young amigos are walking that long road
That's ruthless and rugged and rough
Remember to honor the ruts and the rocks
For teaching your spirited stuff
Some days are diamonds and some days are dirt
But every day is different and free
It's strange and amazing to be here at all
But I found that it helps to believe

In the goodness of God
In the land of the living
And the promise of grapes on the vine
And to hold to convictions
Like life ain't worth living
If you ain't got your heart on the line
Cause you'll play it winning
And you'll play it losing
But you'll learn more from losing I know
And if a heart can grow wise when it's tested and tried
It's the one thing worth calling your own
It's the one thing, the one thing
The one thing, the one thing
It's the one thing worth calling your own
