Used To Be Alright Lyrics - Scenery And Fish - I Mother Earth

It's pretty good, the wine 

The way that we look 

At ten to eight in the morning 

Yeah, just talkin' 

Still awake in dawn and dew drinkin' 

Thinkin' always 

Rememberin' the laughs, the time we got high 

For seven days down in New Orleans 

And it seemed like no one else knew 

We were just the moon and sun 

In fog before the heat burned it away 

And took the sleep from tired heads 

On beds of reachin' hands 

Road trip, breath and long tall freedom 

Then you long for the days 

Trippin' down the long road 

Just reading' the signs 

That show you the way 

To higher place, you meditate 

To feel the quiet of the earth 

Yeah, that was back when we used to be alright 

Another shame the way the city smells worse 

On a hot day in August, 2 PM 

Right before us good movers move 

And the shakers break our hearts 

Get home to country love 

And the garbage dump by 

The dried up creek near the forest 

That once had a life 

And then it turn on the news 

Somebody shoot me soon 

I'm tired of overheatin' 

Fallin' quick to bending knees and broken veins 

Of always needin' faith to get to shore 

And break all the vows, I've made 

Then you long for the days 

Trippin' down the long road 

Just readin' the signs 

That show you the way 

To higher place, you meditate 

To feel the quiet of the earth 

Yeah, that was back when we used to be alright 

No time or presence of mind 

To wonder why no time for questions 

Of why? I wonder why something's wrong? 

Again the noise shakes the ground 

There's a rage in the crowd 

I'm a face in the crowd, face in the crowd 

Face in the crowd 

What's your name? 

You're sinkin' in the sand 

Standin' next to me 

A river runnin' through your pants 

Afraid to trust me when my hands 

Are helpin' you 

Then you long for the days 

Trippin' down the long road 

Just readin' the signs 

That show you the way 

To higher place, you meditate 

To feel the quiet of the earth 

Yeah, that was back when we used to be alright 

Alright, back when the truth was the way 

And the [Incomprehensible] 

He used to be alright
