We try so hard to make it all work out
|
Sometimes sittin' on the top of the world
|
Sometimes very deep in doubt
|
And if the only thing that tomorrow brings
|
Is the sunrise on the top of that hill
|
I'm gonna sit right down and watch the world go around
|
And never think about another damn bill
|
|
Some men live for money some for art
|
One guy thinks he's funny
|
The other guy thinks he's smart
|
Everybody's gonna get lucky every now and then
|
And the one who's feelin' so low down
|
Now is later on gonna win
|
|
(Chorus)
|
Let the picture paint itself and it'll be all right
|
You don't have to try so hard
|
You don't have to hold on so tight
|
Let the picture paint itself and it'll only get better
|
And when the day is through and it's just me and you
|
We'll be feeling so good we'll be knocking on wood
|
|
If you think you've got troubles just look around
|
and don't go out in public all turned upside down
|
If the only thing that you're livin' for is pain
|
There's a real good chance you'll get nothing more
|
Than a lot more of the same
|
|
(Chorus)
|
