CAN'T CONTROL THE WIND

RECORDED BY RICKY SKAGGS



When I was a boy daddy was my guiding light

We'd take walks and talk about fishing girls and life

He'd help me with my homework cheer me up when I was down

Best friend that I ever had I miss havin' him around

He'd say do the very best you can with all that you've been blessed

And if the load's too great for you the Lord will do the rest

Keep one thing in mind if all else should fail

You can't control the wind but you can adjust the sail

Daddy lost his job when the factory closed

Times were hard bills to pay he was troubled and it showed

But he said son don't worry it's all to no avail

We can't control the wind but we can adjust the sail

I think of his advice when life turns its back on me

There is no mountain I can't climb if I start down on my knees

I'll do the very best I can with all that I've been blessed

And if the load's too great for me the Lord will do the rest

I'll keep one thing in mind if all else should fail

I can't control the wind but I can adjust the sail

No I can't control the wind but I can adjust the sail
