LYRICS
We don't say the word cancer at our house
Spent too much time dreaming about being where we are now
She don't stop to smell the roses
Got her head up in the clouds

She's a roaring spring breakup
I'm the summer powder in a drought
And the knockdowns in the drag outs
We've had more than a few
Like the rolling tide just aturnin' two stones
We wore our corners smooth

It's all part of the ride
Holding on for dear life
Through the good times and the hard ones
Till one of us dies
All I know is I'm better with her by my side
I'm getting better with time
It's all part of the ride

She's a ghost in all the chords
To every song of mine
And when I put that pen to paper
She's on my mind
You can't heal without the pain
Can't grow hay without the rain
And after the fall and the winter squalls
It'll grow again

She's an echo in the fog of a heartbreak
Long forgot
And in all the wrong by the grace of God
Keeps calling me on home

It's all part of the ride
Holding on for dear life
Through the good times and the hard ones
Till one of us dies

All I know is I'm better with her by my side
I'm getting better with time
It's all part of the ride

And if you should die before me ask if you could bring a friend
Wherever you go that's where I'll be
Forever amen

It's all part of the ride
Holding on for dear life
Through the good times and the hard ones
Till one of us dies
All I know is I'm better with her by my side
I'm getting better with time
It's all part of the ride
Two rollin' stones on the tide
It's all part of the ride
