I Mother Earth - Used To Be Alright Lyrics
Its pretty good, the wineThe way we look atTen to eight in the morningJust talking, still awake inDawn and dew drinking, thinkingAlways...Remembering the laughs, the timeWe got high for seven days downIn New Orleans and it seemed likeNo one else knew we were justThe moon and sun in fog before theHeat burned it away and tookThe sleep from tired heads onBeds of reaching hands, of road tripBreath and long tall freedomAnd then you longFor the days of trippin' downThe long road just reading theSigns that show you the way toA higher place you meditate toFeel the quiet of the earthThat was backWhen we used to be alrightAnother shame, the wayThe city smells worse onA hot day in August....2 pmRight before US good moversMove and us shakers breakOur hearts getting home toCountry love and the garbageDump by the dried up creekNear the forest that once had a lifeAnd then I turned on the newsSomebody shoot me soonI'm tired of over heating, fallingQuick to bending knees andBroken veins, of always needingFaith to get to shore and breakAl the vows I've madeNo time or presenceOf mind to wonder whyNo time for questions ofWHy I wonder whySomething's wrong...againThe noise shakes the groundThere's a rage inThe crowd and I'm a faceIn the crowd, whats your name?You're sinkin' in the sandStanding next to me, a riverRunning through your pants, afraidTo trust me when my handsAre helping you
