Journey Through Life: Bill Anderson and Jan Howard's Musical Odyssey
Lyrics
We walked the warm streets of Florida with sand in our pockets lots of times
We have strolled through the warm streets of Florida together, carrying sand in our pockets multiple times.
Walked the cold streets of New York with two guitars and a tin cup just for dimes
We walked the cold streets of New York, equipped with two guitars and a tin cup, hoping for spare change.
We spent one winter in Winnipeg a summer in the Mississippi sun
We experienced a winter in Winnipeg and a summer basking in the sun of Mississippi.
Had some trouble once in Fargo some bad times in Enceno but we had fun
We faced difficulties in Fargo and had tough times in Enceno, but despite challenges, we had enjoyable moments.
We made the papers once in Phoenix when we stopped and tried to break up a fight
We garnered attention in Phoenix when we intervened in a fight while passing through, making headlines.
We hit keno in Reno and lost it all in Vegas the very next night
We played keno in Reno and lost all our winnings in Vegas the very next night.
We hopped a train in Chicago and skinny dipped in San Francisco bay
We boarded a train in Chicago and engaged in skinny dipping in San Francisco Bay.
We checked it all in the big hotels then used the fire escape to get away
We experienced luxury in big hotels, but sometimes we used the fire escape for a swift exit.
And we wouldn't trade it all for the world and all of its gold
We wouldn't exchange our adventures for the entire world and its wealth.
It's the past that makes the future worth livin'
The past experiences make the future meaningful and worth living.
Mother Luck's been good to us and we will praise her in our songs
We acknowledge the good fortune Mother Luck has bestowed upon us, expressing gratitude in our songs.
For the good times and the good love she has given
We appreciate the good times and the love that Mother Luck has generously provided.

We flew into Kansas City early April 24th without a plane
We arrived in Kansas City on April 24th, facing an unexpected situation without a plane.
We got stranded in a snow storm with some folks from Salt Lake City on a train
Stranded in a snowstorm with people from Salt Lake City on a train, enduring unforeseen challenges.
We spent a week one night in LA looking for a doctor's daughter on the strip
We spent a memorable week in LA, searching for a doctor's daughter on the strip.
Then we wound up in Nashville pitchin' songs and waitin' tables for a tip
We ended up in Nashville, pitching songs and working as waitstaff, relying on tips for a living.
And we wouldn't trade it all...
We wouldn't trade our diverse experiences for anything.
And we wouldn't trade it all...
We value the richness of our journey and wouldn't exchange it for all the wealth in the world.
