Lyrics

nosebleed school days
trying to prove who you are
puffing yourself up
didn't get you that far
Daddy always knew
the right things in wisdom
with what he'd say

[ chorus ] He'd say
life is just a pothole on the road to heaven
when you've given 10 he'll take you to 11
just hold on and keep your eyes straight ahead
because life is just a pothole on the road to heaven

tear-stained summer days
raining without end
But mother could fix the rips
with comfort she would mend
propping me back up
to face it all again
and reassuring words
and this is what she said

[ chorus ] He'd say
life is just a pothole on the road to heaven
when you've given 10 he'll take you to 11
just hold on and keep your eyes straight ahead
because life is just a pothole on the road to heaven

[ guitar instrumental ]

down this long long road
feeling I am nearing my mortal end
kneeling by my side
a robed man who is my friend
Looking in his eyes
I could see another world
gently in my ear
this is the words that I heard

[ chorus ]
