Don't think that the life that we're living is easy

We travel around

Our feet don't touch the ground

I like to believe that after all this

I'd end up a millionaire

But that's not where it's at

Anyway it don't work like that

Where's my silver lining

I've been trying, trying to see

But everyday comes shining

Hey shine your light

Way down on me

Now don't get me wrong it's the life that I asked for

I'm a lucky man

Yes I understand

It's just that sometimes it's so fast

I can't even catch up to myself

Goodbye Bowling Green

Hello Abilene

Where's my silver lining

I've been trying, trying to see

But everyday comes shining

Hey shine your light

Way down on me

Outside my window the rooster is crowing

Oh what can he do

I guess he's lonely too

Or maybe he's preaching out loud

All the truth that I already know

Life ain't never fair

It's like that everywhere

Where's my silver lining

I've been dying, dying to see

But everyday I'm finding

That silver lining

Is inside of me
