  • Grandpa Campbell would sit upon his front porch
    And I'd be right there just sittin' on his knee
    He'd tell stories about love and feast and famine
    And I'd hang onto every word that he would breathe
    He'd say boy as you walk through this life
    Here's a little wisdom that'll help you get by

    [Chorus]
    You gotta live to learn
    You gotta crash and burn
    You gotta make some stances
    And take some chances
    You gotta live and love
    And take all life has to give
    You gotta live and learn
    So you can learn to live

    Well I left home and I went to carolina
    I didn't sail off just to see what I could see
    I did some things that I wasn't really proud of
    Sometimes life just got the best of me
    But I'd always think back to those days
    And I know what grandmpa campbell would say
    He'd say

    [Chorus]

    After years of running round and searching
    I found me a woman who loves me just for me
    All those mistakes I thought that I was making
    Led me right here to you sittin' on my knee
    Son as you walk through this life
    Here's a little wisdom that will help you get by

    You gotta live to learn
    You gotta crash and burn
    You gotta make some stances
    And take some chances
    You gotta live and love
    And take all life has to give
    You gotta live and learn
    You gotta live and learn
    So you can learn to live
