Lyrics: Song for the Life

(Rodney Crowell)

Well, 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 was a child.

And somehow I've learned how to listen
For a sound like the sun goin' down
In the magic the mornin' is bringin'
There's a song for the life I have found
It keeps my feet on the ground.

And the midsummer day sit so heavy
But don't they flow like the breeze through your mind
When nothing appears in a hurry
To make up for someone's lost time.

And somehow I've learned how to listen
For a sound like the sun goin' down
In the magic the mornin' is bringin'
There's a song for the life I have found
It keeps my feet on the ground.

And somehow I've learned how to listen
For a sound like the breeze dyin' down
In the magic the mornin' is bringin'
There's a song for the friend I have found
She keeps my feet on the ground.

She keeps my feet on the ground...
