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

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

The midsummer days ain't so heavy

They just flow like the breeze all the time

When nothing appears in a hurry

To make up for some old lost time

Somehow I 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 learned to how to listen

To a sound like the sun going 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

From Rodney Crowell "Ain't Living Long Like This"
