Morning Comes

I found a good woman

I found a job that pays

The tide comes in, I watch it all wash away

But I’m keeping it steady, that’s just how I was raised

Head held up walking tall into each breaking wave

’Cause the devil’s in the details and he’s taking his toll

Sending good men down the foot trails of some lost lonely souls

And I say oh, oh

Rain don’t change the sun

Jealous is the night when the morning comes

But it always comes

So I’m working the graveyard, I don’t sleep till it’s light

Ain’t calling in favors, I can’t swallow my pride

And the bank’s on a mission, they want to read me my rights

But they ever show up around here, they’re going to be in for a fight

’Cause the devil’s in my hometown and I ain’t telling him no

’Cause it’s my family, it’s my love now, that I’m scared to let go

Oh, oh

Rain don’t change the sun

Jealous is the night when the morning comes

But it always comes

Followed the track of my needle

Tried to be good to my people

So why’s there no peace?

No break no relief

Can I be blamed if I’m angry?

Can I be saved if I’m barely clinging to hope?

I’m clinging to hope

When I say oh, oh

Rain don’t change the sun

Jealous is the night when the morning comes

But it always comes

It always rains down on us

And like an old dog lying by a new gravestone

It’s still our home

It’s still our home

So if you ever feel like you are alone

After the night

The morning comes
