Don't kid yourself, son, for a minute, That you're needed in life's stirring game; Though you're doing vour bit, If you happen to quit, This world moves along just the same. You may win both glory and honor, In life's tempetuous race ; But when you drop out you are a "goner," And there s someone to step in your place ; It's a battle, my boy, to the finish, And though you gain for tune and fame, If the going gets rough, And you quit when it's tough, This old world moves along just the same. I can't help but think, as I ramble Up and down this highway we call life, Where every new day is a gamble Filled hourly with turmoil and strife; I can't help but think I re peat it That your goal, after all's, a good name ; You will cherish it best, When it's time to 'Go west,' And this world moves along just the same.
