Chuck Ragan - For Goodness Sake lyrics

Simple backbeats seem to soothe me If I could hold them I would let's say Take some rest as if not wicked And walk around enjoying silence A world away, elders gather Speak their tongue and hardly falter With words of bound, joy and grievance Simple song, work and penance To drawn hate like a stone And walk the path overgrown Never to lay awake And if so for goodness sake Well down the road the deer are crossing And the gra** is greener where they're walking Rattling beasts and heavy movements Mark them now son before we lose them Bear your arms ever so wisely Or burn them all if you have no need And dress to k** but k** so kindly A hollow heart's too weak and weary To drawn hate like a stone And walk the path overgrown Never to lay awake And if so for goodness sake Now call me crazy but all the old ways Of simple living are slowly fading All we buy is time before we die And lay on down desensitized A wise old friend recently told me: "An idle mind is the devil's playpen" Mind the gaps and watch them closely Spread the love but choose your friends wisely Love yourself to love your family And find the difference between wants and needs Be sure to stop and count your blessings Smell the roses and fight for something To drawn hate like a stone And walk the path overgrown Never to lay awake And if so for goodness sake Now call me crazy but all the old ways Of simple living are slowly fading All we buy is time before we die And lay on down desensitized
