Taking Stock

Some roads take you places
You never planned to go
And some closed doors end up opening more

I've made my share of bad decisions
And I've made a few good calls
Funny how the biggest chances
Can change it all

I'm taking stock

Of every loss and gain
Some paid back more than I could name

Some bets didn't work out
Some dreams still came true

I'm taking stock

And that's the best I can do

I guess when you think about it
Everything's got a reason
Every dog has its day

And everything has its season

Some things never paid off
Some things took their time
But the things I value most today
Money couldn't buy

That chapter's finally over
And I've been born anew
Built a life that's all my own
And moved on from you

I'm taking stock

Of every loss and gain
Some paid back more than I could name
Some bets didn't work out
Some dreams still came true

I'm taking stock

And that's the best I can do

Life ain't a sure thing
There ain't no guarantees
Some people leave you stronger
Some just bring you to your knees

I took a chance on forever
And lost more than I planned
But every lesson cost something
It’s all part of God’s plan

Some investments paid off
Some never made a dime
Some people were blessings
Some just wasted my time

I'm taking stock

Of every winding road
Every broken heart

And every hand I've tired to hold

The mountains in my rearview
The Gulf beneath the sun

Looking back on everything

I'd say I won

Some bets didn't work out
Some dreams still came true

I'm taking stock

And that's the best I can do

Looking back I should've seen the signs
But maybe that's not the point

I’ve taken stock, and now its my time.
