'Song for the Life'

From the pen of Rodney Crowell, words by which to live...

Song for the Life

I don't drink as much as I used to
Lately that just ain't my style
The hard times don't hurt like they ought to
They pass quicker like when I was a child

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

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

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 friend I have found
She keeps my feet on the ground
