Didn’t like things - getting out’a hand

Be - sure - you wanna catch what you’re huntin’
Don’t swing for fences if time’s right for buntin’

Handle the small things – big things let through
([His words still ring true]) – Ch2

Expect life to be crazy
It’s a world of maybes
Be sure you earn what you keep
So ev’ry night you can sleep - Ch3
