Lyrics Song for the Life - Jerry Jeff Walker

Song for the Life

Well I don’t drink as much as I ought to
Lately that just ain’t my style
And the hard times don’t cut like they used to
They pass quicker, like when I was a child
And somehow I’ve learned how to listen
To the sound of the sun dyin' down
in the morning I’ll be singing
A song for this life I have found
You know it keeps my feet on the ground
Well the midsummer day sit so heavy
They don’t flow like the breeze through your mind
When nothing appears in a hurry
To make up for some old lost time
And somehow I’ve learned how to listen
To the sound of the sun dyin' down
in the morning I’ll be singing
A song for this life I have found
You know that keeps my feet on the ground
Yeah somehow I’ve learned how to listen
To the sound of the sun dyin' down
in the morning I’ll be singing
A song for this life I have found
You know it keeps my feet on the ground
