Thirty Nine by Darryl John (c) 2015 Verse 1: He left his town of birth, When he was thirty nine. Filled with ambition and hope, He thought that he’d do fine. Now twenty years have passed, Since he went away. He tells all and sundry, That he’ll return some day. Chorus: Did he do right by leaving? No guarantees it’d work out You reap what you sow so they say That’s what life’s all about Verse 2: He’d show lost family and friends, That he has done real well. And share with every one of them, A great story to tell. Perhaps he really doesn’t know, If he’ll ever return. There’s plenty he has to do, With many things to learn. Chorus: Did he do right by leaving? No guarantees it’d work out You reap what you sow so they say That’s what life’s all about Instrumental: A full verse Chorus: Did he do right by leaving? No guarantees it’d work out You reap what you sow so they say That’s what life’s all about Verse 3: But things didn’t always go, According to the plan. Determined not to fail this time, He tried to hold his ground. It seems Murphy’s Law applied, More times than not. Always having to man up, And accept this was his lot. Chorus: Did he do right by leaving? No guarantees it’d work out You reap what you sow so they say That’s what life’s all about Verse 4: And so we come up to, This present time. There’s no need to kid himself, It hasn’t always been fine. He’s managed to struggle through, The good and the bad. Character building to say the least, Of this he’s really glad. Chorus: Did he do right by leaving? No guarantees it’d work out You reap what you sow so they say That’s what life’s all about Final Chorus: Did he do right by leaving? No guarantees it’d work out You reap what you sow so they say That’s what life’s all about That’s what it’s all about
