Rodney Crowell - Earthbound lyrics

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 mistake's forgivin' 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 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 And 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 think I might stick around I'm earthbound With each new day that pa**es I'm in need of thicker gla**es but it's all ok Someday I'll be leavin' 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... fallen angels come callin' to you Earthbound... keepin' close to the ground, think I might stick around Earthbound... Tom Waits, Aretha Franklin, Mary Karr Earthbound... Walter Kronkite, Seamus Heaney, Ringo Starr Earthbound... The Dalai Lahma and Charlie Brown make me wanna stick around I'm earthbound
