Half The Battle - Steve Forde

Written by：Rivers Rutherford/George Teren

My great grand daddy's daddy

Lived in 1993

A tough as nails cowboy

A peice of history

And all I know about him comes from a diary

He passed down and it's mine now

He didn't have much education

Judging by the way he wrote

He was partial to the herefords

With a good thick winter coat

He must've done some living

Cause he wanted us to know

What he learned the little wisdom earned

Tell the truth all the time

Look a stranger in the eye

Sit up tall but not too high in your saddle

Don't be scared of anyone

But don't be quick to draw your gun

Knowing when to fight and when to run

Is half the battle

Now we got big cities

Where they say its civilized

There's crack head crooks and crazies

And concrete to the sky

Nothings really changed

It's still a struggle to survive

Even now but I know how

Tell the truth all the time

Look a stranger in the eye

Sit up tall but not too high in your saddle

Don't be scared of anyone

But don't be quick to draw your gun

Knowing when to fight and when to run

Is half the battle

Tell the truth all the time

Look a stranger in the eye

Sit up tall but not too high in your saddle

Don't be scared of anyone

But don't be quick to draw your gun

Knowing when to fight and when to run

Is half the battle

Knowing when to fight and when to run

Is half the battle
