lyrics

It’s good to – keep it packed lightly
It’s best – to keep both hands free
I try to – at least sometimes
But I know – I can’t always

It’s good to – be right where you are
Steady in your mind – and geographically
Standing on your feet, and breathing -- your own air
Saying your own words and not somebody else’s

Take it all, or else let it go
It’s pretty hard to get another chance
Take lots of time, to choose it wisely
It’s pretty hard to get another chance

It’s nice to – empty out your pockets
At the very end of – a very long day
It’s good to – count up your keys
And sometimes – throw half away

Take it all, or else let it go
It’s pretty hard to get another chance
Take lots of time, to choose it wisely
It’s pretty hard to get another chance

It’s good to – keep it packed lightly
It’s best – to keep both hands free
I try to – at least sometimes
But I know – I can’t always

It’s good to – be right where you are
Steady in your mind – and geographically
Standing on your feet, and breathing -- your own air
Saying your own words and not somebody else’s
