Song For The Life
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
I don't drink as much as I ought to
Lately that just ain't my style
The hard times don't hurt like they used to
They pass quicker like when I was wild
Somehow I've learned how to listen
For a sound like the sun going down
In the magic that morning is bringing
There's a song for the life I have found
It keeps my feet on the ground
[ guitar - dobro ]
The mid summer days ain't so heavy
They just flow like a breeze through your mind
And nothing appears in a hurry
To make up for some old lost times
And somehow I've learned how to listen...
Somehow I've learned how to listen...
