Rodney Crowell - Earthbound lyrics

rate me

I could shed my skin and in the blink of an eye I could fly fly fly

Tie my dreams up in a sack Lay my head down on the track and die die die

My life's been so sweet I just can't stand it

I must admit I've made out like a bandit

Last night's conversation with a real good friend of mine drinkin wine

wine wine

Said fifty years of livin and your worst mistakes forgiven takes time

time time

One man's lust for life brings world reknown

Next guy can't get two feet off the ground......earthbound

Earthbound....hear the wind through the tops of the trees

Earthbound....summer sun nearly ninety degrees

Earthbound....big ol' moon sinking down...... think I might stick

around

EARTHBOUND

I knew love once way back when she had almond eyes and olive skin

And long black hair

She was Irish Spanish mixbreed I was southeast Texas hayseed

We were almost there

Her daddy didn't like my kind around

True love took the next train out of town......earthbound

Earthbound....where there's fathers and daughters in pain

Earthbound....mama's boy walking home in the rain

Earthbound....like a ship run aground I think I might stick around

EARTHBOUND

With each new day that passes I'm in need of thicker glasses but it's

all O K

Someday I'll be leaving but I just can't help believing that it's not

today

Every golden moment I have found

I've done my best to run right in the ground.....earthbound

Earthbound....see the sky big and beautiful blue

Earthbound....fallen angels are talkin' to you

Earthbound....keepin' close to the ground think I might stick around

EARTHBOUND

Earthbound....Tom Waits, Aretha Franklin, Mary Karr

Earthbound....Walter Cronkite, Seamus Heaney, Ringo Starr

Dalai Lama, Charlie Brown think I might stick around

EARTHBOUND
