Lyrics

Take It As It Comes
By: Jeremy Vess

Working in them fields while you still got day
Living every moment like a ‘fool’ who can’t be tamed
By the standard of his peers

Lovin’ every moment that comes my way
I’ve got the bride of my youth
Oh God I love to hear her say, “You’re my one and only.”

Life is like an open road traveling
in the still of the night
I keep one hand on the steering wheel,
one hand on the leg of my wife
And we take it as it comes…

Sun coming up put your hand to that plow
You’re living on borrowed time for debt you can’t pay
That’s why they call it grace
Loving what I do, Love’s all I got
I know she got my back, I know I got her’s too
Cause she my one and only

Life is like an open road traveling
in the still of the night
I keep one hand on the steering wheel,
one hand on the leg of my wife
Yeah we take it as it comes one mile at a time
Keep it on the road, stay between them lines
Leave that past behind at every passing sign
I’m living in a moment, I leave that world behind
I’ll take it as it comes


Why talk about regrets and pain anymore?
Outstanding debt to pay I could never afford
Not gonna talk about regrets and pain anymore?
Outstanding debt to pay I can’t afford

So I take it as it comes…

Time can heal all wicked wounds,
but only love can cover up
what hearts cannot absorb
