I could shed my skin and in the blink of an eye I could fly fly fly
|
Tie my dreams up in a sack and lay my head down on the track and die die die
|
My life's been so sweet I just can't stand it
|
I must admit I've made out like a bandit
|
|
Last night's conversation with a real good friend of mine drinkin wine
|
wine wine
|
Said fifty years of livin and your worst mistakes forgiven it just takes time
|
time time
|
One man's lust for life brings world renown
|
And the next guy can't get two feet off the ground...... he¡¯s earthbound
|
|
(Earthbound)....hear the wind through the tops of the trees
|
(Earthbound)....summer sun nearly ninety degrees
|
(Earthbound)....big ol' moon sinking down...... think I might stick
|
around
|
I¡¯m EARTHBOUND
|
|
I knew love once way back when she had almond eyes and olive skin
|
And long black hair
|
She was Irish Spanish mix breed I was southeast Texas hayseed
|
We were almost there
|
Her daddy did not like my kind around
|
My true love took the next train out of town......earthbound
|
|
(Earthbound)....where there's fathers and daughters in pain
|
(Earthbound)....mama's boy walking home in the rain
|
(Earthbound)....like a ship run aground I think I might stick around
|
I¡¯m EARTHBOUND
|
|
With each new day that passes I'm in need of thicker glasses but it's
|
all O K
|
Someday I'll be leaving but I just can't help believing that it's not
|
today
|
Every golden moment I have found
|
I've done my best to run right in the ground.....earthbound
|
|
(Earthbound)....see the sky big and beautiful blue
|
(Earthbound)....fallen angels come callin' for you
|
(Earthbound....keepin' close to the ground think I might stick around
|
|
(Earthbound)....Tom Waits, Aretha Franklin, Mary Karr
|
(Earthbound)....Walter Cronkite, Seamus Heaney, Ringo Starr
|
(Earthbound)¡¦.Dalai Lama, Charlie Brown make me wanna stick around
|
I¡¯m EARTHBOUND
