Earthbound — текст песни (Rodney Crowell)

I could shed my skin and in the blink of an eye I could fly fly fly
Tie my dreams up in a sack and lay my head down on the track and die die die
My life`s been so sweet I just can`t stand it
I must admit I`ve made out like a bandit

Last night`s conversation with a real good friend of mine drinkin wine
wine wine
Said fifty years of livin and your worst mistakes forgiven it just takes time
time time
One man`s lust for life brings world renown
And the next guy can`t get two feet off the ground...... he`s earthbound

(Earthbound)....hear the wind through the tops of the trees
(Earthbound)....summer sun nearly ninety degrees
(Earthbound)....big ol` moon sinking down...... think I might stick
around
I`m EARTHBOUND

I knew love once way back when she had almond eyes and olive skin
And long black hair
She was Irish Spanish mix breed I was southeast Texas hayseed
We were almost there
Her daddy did not like my kind around
My true love took the next train out of town......earthbound

(Earthbound)....where there`s fathers and daughters in pain
(Earthbound)....mama`s boy walking home in the rain
(Earthbound)....like a ship run aground I think I might stick around
I`m EARTHBOUND

With each new day that passes I`m in need of thicker glasses but it`s
all O K
Someday I`ll be leaving but I just can`t help believing that it`s not
today
Every golden moment I have found
I`ve done my best to run right in the ground.....earthbound

(Earthbound)....see the sky big and beautiful blue
(Earthbound)....fallen angels come callin` for you
(Earthbound....keepin` close to the ground think I might stick around

(Earthbound)....Tom Waits, Aretha Franklin, Mary Karr
(Earthbound)....Walter Cronkite, Seamus Heaney, Ringo Starr
(Earthbound)….Dalai Lama, Charlie Brown make me wanna stick around
I`m EARTHBOUND
