Song for the Life

(Rodney Crowell)



Well, I don't drink as much as I used to

Lately, it just ain't my style

And the hard times don't hurt like they ought to

They pass quicker like when I was a child.



And somehow I've learned how to listen

For a sound like the sun goin' down

In the magic the mornin' is bringin'

There's a song for the life I have found

It keeps my feet on the ground.



And the midsummer day sit so heavy

But don't they flow like the breeze through your mind

When nothing appears in a hurry

To make up for someone's lost time.



And somehow I've learned how to listen

For a sound like the sun goin' down

In the magic the mornin' is bringin'

There's a song for the life I have found

It keeps my feet on the ground.

And somehow I've learned how to listen

For a sound like the breeze dyin' down

In the magic the mornin' is bringin'

There's a song for the friend I have found

She keeps my feet on the ground.



She keeps my feet on the ground...
