Rodney Crowell - Earthbound Lyrics
i could shed my skin and in the blink of an eyei could fly fly flytie dream up in a sackand lay my head down up on the trackand die die diemy life's been so sweeti just can't stand iti must admit i've made out like a banditlast night's conversation with a real good friend of minedrinking wine wine winesaid 50 years in living with your worst mistakes forgivenjust a time time timeone man's lust for life brings world reknownand the next guy can't get two feet off the groundhe's earthboundearthboundhear the wind throught the tops of the treesearthbooundsummer sun nearly 90 degreesearthboundbig old moon sinking downthink i might stick aroundi'm earthboundi knew love way back whenshe had almond eyes and olive skinand long black hairshe was irish spanish mix breedi was south east texas hay seedwe were almost thereher daddy did not like my kind aroundbut true love took the next train out of townearthboundearthboundwhere there's fathers and daughters and painearthboundmama's boy walking home in the rainearthboundlike a ship run agroundthink i might stick aroundi'm earthboundwith each new day that passesi'm in need of thicker glassesbut it's all oksomeday i'll be leavingbut i just can't help believing that it's not today heyevery golden moment i have foundi've done my best to run right in the groundearthboundearthboundsee the sky big and beautiful blueearthboundall the angels come calling to youearthboundkeeping close to the groundthink i might stick aroundearthboundTom Waits, Aretha Franklin, Mary KarrWalter Kronkite, Seamus Heaney, Ringo Starrearthboundthe Dahli Lahma and Charlie Brown make me wanna stick aroundi'm earthbound
