FIVE INCHES HIGH AND CARVED OUT OF PINE
THE BOX BELONGED TO A DEAR FRIEND OF MINE
THE ONLY MAN IN MY LIFE SINCE THE DAY MY DADDY DIED
MR. JOHNSON WAS A HERO IN THIS LITTLE BOY’S EYES

HE TOOK ME FISHING AFTER SCHOOL ON THAT LAKE
AND THERE BY HIS SIDE WAS THE BOX HE WOULD TAKE
NEVER OPENED IT UP, ALWAYS KEPT IT LOCKED
ONE DAY I FINALLY ASKED “WHAT’S INSIDE THE BOX”

CHORUS

HE SAID LESSONS LEARNED DOWN TRAVELED ROADS
SON TAKE YEARS OF FINDING WHERE THEY GO
I’VE BEEN LUCKY ENOUGH TO FIND MY POT OF GOLD
THAT THIS BOX HOLDS 
IT’S WHAT I VALUE MOST

THE DAY HE DIED HE LEFT THAT BOX JUST FOR ME
* AND THERE BY IT'S SIDE - A SMALL SILVER KEY
* I COULD ALMOST HEAR HIM SAY WHAT HE TOLD ME THAT DAY
* WHEN I LIFTED THE LID AND LOOKED INSIDE THE BOX

CHORUS

TAG

LESSONS LEARNED DOWN TRAVELED ROADS
SON TAKE YEARS OF FINDING WHERE THEY GO
* INSIDE THAT BOX WAS HIS OLD POCKET WATCH AND A NOTE
SON THANK YOU FOR YOUR TIME
