i could shed my skin and in the blink of an eye
i could fly fly fly
tie dream up in a sack
and lay my head down up 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
drinking wine wine wine
said 50 years in living with your worst mistakes forgiven
just a time time time

one man's lust for life brings world reknown
and the next guy can't get two feet off the ground
he's earthbound
earthbound
hear the wind throught the tops of the trees
earthboound
summer sun nearly 90 degrees
earthbound
big old moon sinking down
think i might stick around
i'm earthbound

i knew love way back when
she had almond eyes and olive skin
and long black hair
she was irish spanish mix breed
i was south east texas hay seed
we were almost there
her daddy did not like my kind around
but true love took the next train out of town
earthbound
earthbound

where there's fathers and daughters and pain
earthbound
mama's boy walking home in the rain
earthbound
like a ship run aground
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 ok
someday i'll be leaving
but i just can't help believing that it's not today hey
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
all the angels come calling to you
earthbound
keeping close to the ground
think i might stick around
earthbound
Tom Waits, Aretha Franklin, Mary Karr
Walter Kronkite, Seamus Heaney, Ringo Starr
earthbound
the Dahli Lahma and Charlie Brown make me wanna stick around
i'm earthbound
