lyrics

Sour days ain’t here to stay
Like big dark clouds they’ll fall away
The sun on your face, might do you good
A call from an old friend, might change your mood
Here’s to the days when I wasn’t feeling small
Wasn’t looking eye to eye, with the fly on the wall
But now I got a chance to bust right through
With a fresh set of eyes and a fresh set of views

Never have I ever
Set the truth on fire
Better to have weathered it
And walked the hard mile

Keep pickin em up and putting them down
Writing my name right across this town
Listen to me, just breathe in & out
Keep pickin em up and puttin em down

Any day now the storm will move on
Leaving in its wake, a new kind of norm
But my heart is resilient, like an old pair of boots
And the bigger the storm, the deeper the roots

Never have I ever
Kept old grudges on file
See, I should’ve known better
And just left them all behind (and just walked on)

And kept pickin em up and putting them down
Writing my name right across this town
Listen to me, just breathe in & out
Keep pickin em up and puttin em down
You see it’s just one foot in front of the other
Like when you were small following round your big brothers
Don’t let the circling crows win out
Keep pickin up and puttin em down

Your left, your left, your left right left

Pick em up, put em down
