If I May Be So Bold

It's no eternal mystery
 You don't need a hard-earned clue
 Why some men do their damndest when half-a-damn would do
 There's a lifetime in the distance
 And it's filled with love and gold
 And I'll find it yet if I may be so bold
 Yeah, some men do the congaroo
 And some men do the wheel
 Some'll do most anything to hide the way they feel
 And some like givin' orders
 And some like to be told
 But I'll make my way if I may be so bold
 Bold enough to make a difference
 Bold enough to say I care
 Bold enough to keep on trying
 Even when the will's not there
 There's a whole world out there waitin'
 Full of stories to be told
 And I'll heed the call and tell 'em all
 If I may be so bold
 The boys were emptying their glasses
 As the true believers will
 For what I guess these days passes for a good time or a thrill
 And they're tryin' hard to convince you
 But I don't believe you're sold
 So I'll step right up if I may be so bold
 Bold enough to make a difference
 Bold enough to say I care
 Bold enough to keep on fightin'
 Even when the will's not there
 There's a whole world out there waitin'
 Full of dreams that can't be sold
 And I'll heed the call and I'll live 'em all
 If I may be so bold
 I have stumbled 'round these country towns
 And I've swallowed up the sea
 I've wrestled with the question of just who I aim to be
 Been dealt hands I had to laugh at
 And some hands I'd like to fold
 But I'll play 'em all, if I may be so bold
 Bold enough to not surrender
 Bold enough to give a damn
 Bold enough to keep on movin'
 Or to stay right where I am
 There's a whole world out there waitin'
 Full of stories to be told
 And I'll heed the call and I'll tell 'em all
 If I may be so bold
 Yeah I'll tell 'em all, if I may be so bold
