Johnny Cash - Song For The Life Lyrics






I don't drink the way that I used to
lately that just ain't my style
And the hard times don't hurt like they once did
They pass more quickly like when I was wild

And somehow I've learned how to listen
to a sound like the sun going down
In the magic the morning is bringing
There's a song for the life I have found
it keeps my feet on the ground

The mid summer days ain't too heavy
they just flow like a breeze through my mind
And nothing appears in a hurry
to make up for some old lost times

And somehow I've learned how to listen
to a sound like the sun going down
In the magic the morning is bringing
There's a song for the life I have found
it keeps my feet on the ground

Somehow I've learned how to listen
to a sound like the sun going down
In the magic the morning is bringing
There's a song for the life I have found
it keeps my feet on the ground

Johnny Cash Song For The Life Comments
  1. L.... Y....

    I love this song it say so much about life , how people change over time.

  2. S.... P....

    I love the way that different singers change the " I don't drink as much as I ought to / used to" around. Maybe they're making statements about themselves....

  3. J.... C....

    This is a great song no matter who sings it. Johnny does an amazing job.

  4. R.... B....

    As much as I've always loved Johnny Cash's music, I still love the Waylon Jennings version of this best. But Rodney Crowell is an amazing songwriter and a very good singer.

    "Well, I don't drink as much as I used to
    Lately it just ain't my style
    And the hard times don't hurt like they ought to
    They pass quickly like when I was wild

    And somehow I've learned how to listen
    For a sound like the sun going down
    And the magic the morning is bringing
    There's a song for the life I have found
    It keeps my feet on the ground

    And the midsummer days sit so heavy
    But don't they flow like the breeze through your mind
    When nothing appears in a hurry
    To make up for someone's lost time

    And somehow I've learned how to listen
    For a sound like the sun going down
    And the magic the morning is bringing
    There's a song for the life I have found
    It keeps my feet on the ground

    And somehow I've learned how to listen
    For a sound like the breeze dying down
    And the magic the morning is bringing
    There's a song for the friend I have found
    She keeps my feet on the ground
    She keeps my feet on the ground..."
