I was standing on the mountain with the sun on my back And the shadow I was casting made the world seem black And if the shadow of one now can block out the sun Then you'd better make sure that you cast the right one You can hustle to your left You can hustle to your right But you gotta put your back into something sometime And it can send you down the river maybe tear you apart But the only path is the path with heart So I don't care what the weather men say You've got to parry with the weather till the end of your days here And if the only path is a path with heart Then I lucked into a good head start I felt I'd been down every alley Beaten down every door Till I could barely account for what I'd been looking toward And then she took a turn into my record store And I knew I wasn't gonna have to look anymore So I don't care what the weather men say You've got to parry with the weather till the end of your days here And if the only path is a path with heart Then I lucked into a good head start And it's all about the context that you put things in That you put us in, that we put ourselves in Nothing hurts like a context That you don't want to be in That's a cage that I never want to see us all in So I don't care what the weather men say You've got to parry with the weather till the end of your days here No I don't care what the weather men do I can parry any weather much better with you And if the only path is a path with heart Then I lucked into a good head start
