Lyrics

[Verse 1]
I could shed my skin and in the blink of an eye
I could fly, fly, fly
Tie my dreams up in a sack
And lay my head down on the track
And die, die, die
My life's been so sweet I just can't stand it
I must admit I've made out like a bandit
[Verse 2]
Last night's conversation with a real good friend of mine
Drinkin' wine, wine, wine
Said fifty years of livin'
And your worst mistakes forgivin'
Just take time, time, time
[Verse 3]
One man's lust for life brings world renown
And the next guy can't get two feet off the ground
He's earthbound
[Verse 4]
Earthbound, hear the wind through the tops of the trees
Earthbound, summer sun nearly ninety degrees
Earthbound, big ol' moon sinking down
Think I might stick around
I'm earthbound
[Verse 5]
I knew love once way back when
She had almond eyes and olive skin
And long black hair
She was Irish Spanish mix breed
I was southeast Texas hayseed
We were almost there
Her daddy did not like my kind around
And true love took the next train out of town
Earthbound
[Verse 6]
Earthbound, where there's fathers and daughters in pain
Earthbound, mama's boy walkin' home in the rain
Earthbound, like a ship run aground
Think I might stick around
I'm earthbound
[Verse 7]
With each new day that passes
I'm in need of thicker glasses
But it's all okay
Someday I'll be leavin'
But I just can't help believin'
That it's not today, hey
Every golden moment I have found
I've done my best to run right in the ground
Earthbound
[Verse 8]
Earthbound, see the sky big and beautiful blue
Earthbound, fallen angels come callin' to you
Earthbound, keepin' close to the ground
Think I might stick around
[Verse 9]
Earthbound, Tom Waits, Aretha Franklin, Mary Karr
Earthbound, Walter Cronkite, Seamus Heaney, Ringo Starr
Earthbound, the Dalai Lama and Charlie Brown
Make me wanna stick around
I'm earthbound
