A song for the life

(Rodney Crowell)

I don't drink as much as I used to
'cos lately that just ain't my style.
And the hard times don't hurt like they ought'a
they pass quickly like when I was a child.

And somehow I've learnt how to listen
to 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

Now the midsummer days ain't so heady
they just blow like a breeze through my mind.
And nothing appears in a hurry
as if to make up for some old long-lost time

And lately I've learnt how to listen
to a sound like the sun going down
In the magic that morning is bringing
there's a song for the friends I have found

They keep my feet on the ground...
They keep my feet on the ground...
They keep my feet on the ground
