Jerry Jeff Walker Song For The Life Lyrics

[Verse 1]
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

[Chorus]
And somehow I've learned how to listen
To the sound of the sun dyin' down
[Just knowing?] in the morning I'll be singing
A song for this life I have found
You know it keeps my feet on the ground

[Verse 2]
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

[Chorus]
And somehow I've learned how to listen
To the sound of the sun dyin' down
[Just knowing?] in the morning I'll be singing
A song for this life I have found
You know that keeps my feet on the ground
[Chorus]
Yeah somehow I've learned how to listen
To the sound of the sun dyin' down
[Knowing?] in the morning I'll be singing
A song for this life I have found
You know it keeps my feet on the ground
