The Bacon Brothers - Grace lyrics

Written by Kevin Bacon and Michael Bacon "A song about thanksgiving - not the holiday, just the act of giving thanks." KB Bobby's lyin' round like the wakin' dead He's got a big black cloud hangin' over his head I want to get him up, get him out the door I'd like to get him drunk, but he don't drink no more He says, "Oh, buddy, I really thought she was the one Tell me what happened, 'cause we were havin' so much fun." Some of us will live in love, and some will watch love die There but for the grace of you, go I Girl but for the grace of you, go I Teddy married Betty, when they were still in school And he never was her first choice, she never was his fool 50 years together, that was somethin' less than bliss Rarely did they tell the truth and rarely did they kiss Pa** the fish sticks, and tell me what you did today And the clock ticks, they're runnin' out of things to say I've seen ashes in the wind, and I've never seen him cry There but for the grace of you, go I Girl but for the grace of you, go I Off we go in a cloud of dust, let the chips fall where they must Girl you turned my life around, in the time it takes a heart to pound Some of us will live in love, and some will watch love die There but for the grace of you, go I Girl but for the grace of you, go I
