Rodney Crowell This Too Will Pass Lyrics

When the winds of change hit hard and knock you off your guard
And you find out there's a serpent in the grass
Though forked tongues might speak if truth is what you seek
This too will pass

When you're all tied up in knots and your friends are taking shots
And the sun comes up and kicks you in the ass
When you're stumbling down the aisle and you feel like you're on trial
This too will pass

Sometimes you've gotta go down the middle of the road Where compromise puts speed bumps in your path
If you know what you want let no one say you don't
This too will pass

Sometimes you gotta crawl through the middle of it all
But don't compromise your heart for something crass
When everything you do just feels like nothing new
This too will pass

When you're all locked up in pain be careful who you blame
This too will pass
