Emmylou Harris
Song for the Life
[Verse 1]
I don't drink as much as I ought to
Lately it just ain't my style
The hard times don't hurt like they used to
They pass quicker like when I was a child

[Chorus]
Somehow I've learned how to listen
For a sound like the sun going down
In the magic that morning is bringing
There's a song for the life I have found
It keeps my feet on the ground

[Guitar and Dobro Solos]

[Verse 2]
The midsummer days ain't so heavy
They just flow like the breeze through your mind
And nothing appears in a hurry
To make up for some ole lost times

[Chorus]
Somehow I've learned how to listen
For a sound like the sun going down
In the magic that morning is bringing
There's a song for the life I have found
It keeps my feet on the ground
Somehow I've learned how to listen
And it sounds like the breeze dying down
In the magic that morning is bringing
There's a song for the friend I have found
She keeps my feet on the ground
