Used To Be Alright Lyrics
Intro
It's pretty good, the wine, the way that we look
At ten to eight in the morning
Yeah just talking, still awake in dawn
And dew drinking, thinking always...
Verse 1
Remembering the last time we got high
For seven days down in New Orleans
And it seemed like no one else knew
We were just the moon and sun in fog
Bridge 1
Before the heat burned it away
And took the sleep from tired heads
On beds of reaching hands,
Road trip breath and long tall freedom
Chorus
Then you long for the days
Trippin' down the long road
Just reading the signs that show you the way
To a higher place you meditate
To feel the quiet of the earth
Yeah that was back when we used to be alright
Verse 2
Another shame, the way the city smells worse
On a hot day in August...2 PM
Right before us good movers move
And the shakers break our hearts …Getting home
To Country love and the garbage dump by
The dried up creek near the forest
That once had life and then I turn on the news
Somebody shoot me soon… I'm tired
Bridge 2
Of over heating, falling quick
To bended knees and broken veins,
Of always needing faith
To get to shore and break all the vows I've made
Chorus
Then you long for the days
Trippin' down the long road
Just reading the signs that show you the way
To a higher place you meditate
To feel the quiet of the earth
Yeah that was back when we used to be alright
Interlude
No time or presence of mind
To wonder why, no time for questions,
Of why, I wonder why
Something's wrong
Again the noise shakes the ground.
There's a rage in the crowd
I'm a face in the crowd, face the crowd,
Face the crowd…
What's your name? You're sinkin' in the sand
Standing, next to me
A river running through your pants, afraid to trust me when my
Hands are… helping you
Chorus
Then you long for the days
Trippin' down the long road
Just reading the signs that show you the way
To a higher place you meditate
To feel the quiet of the earth
Yeah that was back when we used to be alright
Ending
Alright...
Back when the truth was the way
And the new thoughts we were thinking,
We used to be alright
