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 used to
they pass quicker like when i¡¯s a child
Somehow i¡¯ve learned to listen
for a sound like the sun goin¡¯ down
in the magic the morning is bringing
it keeps 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 to listen
for a sound like the sun goin¡¯ down
in the magic the morning is bringing
it keeps my feet on the ground
Somehow i¡¯ve learned to listen
for a sound like the breeze dyin¡¯ down
in the magic the morning is bringing
it keeps my feet on the ground
