SONG FOR THE LIFE

          by Rodney Crowell

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's a child

   Somehow I've learned how to listen
   For the sound like the sun goin' down
   In the magic the morning is bringing
   There's a song for the life I have found
   It's keep my feet on the ground

Don't the midsummer days sit so heavy
But don't they flow like a breeze through your mind
And nothin' occurs in a hurry
To make up for someone's lost time

   Somehow I've learned how to listen
   For the sound like the sun goin' down
   In the magic the morning is bringing
   There's a song for the life I have found
   It's keep my feet on the ground

   Somehow I've learned how to listen
   For the sound like the sun goin' down
   In the magic the morning is bringing
   There's a song for the life I have found
   It's keep my feet on the ground
