(Rodney Crowell)

I don't drink as much as I used to
Yes, lately that just ain't my style
And the hard times don't last like they used to
They pass more quickly like when I was a child.

Chorus:
And somehow I've learned how to listen
To a sound like the sun goin' down
In the magic the morning is bringing
There's a song for a life I have found
It keeps my feet on the ground.

--- Instrumental ---

The mid summer days ain't so heavy
They just blow like a breeze through your mind
When nothing appears in a hurry
To make up for someone's lost time.

Chorus:
And somehow I've learned how to listen
To a sound like the sun goin' down
In the magic the morning is bringing home
There's a song for a life I have found
It keeps my feet on the ground...
