Perfect Strangers
the ground grown too hard with the years
Falling down was not what it used to be
the ground grown too hard with the years
He told his children those little white lies
the truth would only paralyze them
He told himself those little white lies
the truth would only paralyze him
Lay it down, lay it down
He sold most of what he cherished,
the rest he let them steal
Shot his dog out in the open field,
the rest he let them steal
He broke all of his promises,
under a sea green sky

Soak Up The Sun - Sheryl Crow
My friend the communist
Holds meetings in his RV
I can't afford his gas
So I'm stuck here watching TV
I don't have digital
I don't have diddly-squat
It's not having what you want
It's wanting what you've got
Refrain:
I'm gonna soak up the sun.
I'm gonna tell everyone to lighten up
I'm gonna tell them that:
I've got noone to blame-
For everytime I feel lame
I'm lookin' up
I've got a crummy job
It don't pay near enough
To buy the things it take
To win me some of your love
Everytime I turn around
I'm lookin' up - you're lookin' down
Maybe something's wrong with you
That makes you act the way you do
Refrain:
I'm gonna soak up the sun.
I'm gonna tell everyone to lighten up
I'm gonna tell them that:
I've got noone to blame-
For everytime I feel lame
I'm lookin' up
[I'm gonna soak up the sun
The water's still free]
Don't have no master's suite
But I'm still the king of me
You have a fancy ride, but baby
I'm the one who has the key
Everytime I turn around
I'm lookin' up - you're lookin' down
Maybe something's wrong with you
That makes you act the way you do
Maybe I am crazy, too
Refrain:
I'm gonna soak up the sun.
I'm gonna tell everyone to lighten up
I'm gonna tell them that:
I've got noone to blame-
For everytime I feel lame
I'm lookin' up
I'm gonna soak up the sun
I've got my 45 on
So I can rock on
