Story Behind The Song
After spending a little time with Honeyboy - this song floated to the top of my head and out of my mouth. It is a tribute to Honeyboy and all the moving about he has endured as an artist in his 94 years.

Lyrics
This Too Shall Pass
I been traveling all around
I been traveling ever since I left this town
I say this too shall pass
I been riding all across the state
I been jumpin on tail gates all the way.
I say this too shall pass
I've been slavin hard at work
I've been playin my guitar all across the world
I say this too shall pass
I'm packin up to leave
Cause it's the travelin life for me
I say this too shall pass
I'm leavin with a grin
I'll remember this place I've been.
I say this too shall pass
There's been fightin where I've been
It's a violent world we live in
But I say this too shall pass
I lived everywhere I know
In the sun, hail, rain and snow
I say this too shall pass.
