It's All
Good - Song Lyrics |

The biggest crisis of mid-life I’ve found
Are the things that I worry the most about
From my health, to my kids, to my job, to my dog
And even if my hair will ever fall out
When I’m not worrying about my wealth
I sit around and worry about my health
My pressure’s high, my thyroid’s low
They say that your hearing’s the first thing to go
Every joint aches, I need to go to a spa
my gut is too big, do they make a man-bra
My legs are swollen, I need support hose
I worry about my heart where the cholesterol goes
Chorus:
The biggest crisis of mid-life I’ve found
Are the things that I worry the most about
From my health, to my kids, to my job, to my dog
So many things fill me full of self-doubt
I worry that I worry about trivial things
Red dye, radon and killer bee stings
Are there politicians that we can trust
We’re worried about them, do they worry 'bout us
And I worry about the college tuition
Do my kids even have the ambition
What if I make all my choices wrong
I worry right now that this song is too long
But wait the song’s not over I guess
I still have more worries That I need to express
Lyme disease, is the bread stale
What did he mean by that last e-mail
Oh, the gas prices, too many vices
Hole in my stomach from heavy spices
Retirement funds, my golf game
Michigan’s rank who’s to blame
My biggest worry of all you see
When my worries are done will you still love me?
(Chorus)
The biggest crisis of mid-life I’ve found
I worry that I’m losing my touch
But most of all I worry
I worry that I worry too much...
The Healing of Time
There will come a day when all your stars unwind
And in that moment life will surely seem unkind
Chorus:
But you heard about the healing of time
Yes you heard about the healing of time
Well it’s alright for you to hang your head and cry
And you might want to turn the other cheek and die
(Chorus)
I know that you’re reeling try into fight the feeling
You have heard about the healing time
Don’t hold your head in shame
Cause you have got to make it get back in the game
It’s all a part of livin’ under any other kind of name
Utter darkness and you’re sure you’re near the end
But please believe that you will live to fight again
Cause you heard about the healing of time
Yes you heard about the healing of time
Tryin’ to find a reason while you’re heart is freezing
You have heard about the healing of time
Have you heard about the healing of time
Yes you heard about the healing time
Trying to fight the feeling staring at the ceiling
You have heard about the healing of time

My Father’s Shoes
As a young boy, I stepped into my father’s shoes
Didn’t know then how much in life I’d have to choose
I looked in awe at this man so tall, clinging to his side
Bouncing on his knee when I was three
Was such a splendid ride
As a young man, I stepped into my father’s shoes
I could see then, my choices helped me win or lose
As I grew high I learned to try to emulate his ways
His quiet pride right by my side
Got me though the days
Chorus:
Wing tips or tennis shoes, so many things to choose
Finding the pair that fits, builds up my confidence
As a grown man
I stepped into my father’s shoes
Got a real job
A wife and a family too
I’ve tried to see if I could be
As good a man as you
It’s quite a test, without much rest So much left to do
As an old man
I’ll step into my father’s shoes
I will see then
With a clarity un-diffused
Cause time will tell if I chose well And always did my best
Those by my side will show I tried To live up to the test
Chorus:
Wing tips or tennis shoes
So many things to choose
Finding the pair that fits
Builds up my confidence
Lost the fire in my eye
Lack of sleep we learn to cry
I didn’t want to tell you
Lay me down in my bed
I’ll have to write to you instead
Cause we couldn’t seem
To talk about it
Chorus:
We can love completely
Without completely understanding
This is so demanding
But I can’t let go
Lost the fire in my eye
Without you I start to die
Lay me down in my bed
Visions of the things we said and
I can’t seem to comprehend you
(Chorus)
We can love completelyWithout completely understanding
Without completely Understanding...
Twenty-one years of a marriage,
The kids are all grown and gone
So they concentrate
On love and hate
And hate prevails in the end
Twenty-two years in the same job
Getting good pay and reward
But you can be much more, so
Open up that door, and step right
Into
your dreams
Chorus:
And now it seems
To be a real good time
To make a change, make a change
Twenty-three years in the same
House, you know that it
feels
Just like home
But it’s an empty nest, and you
Want shady rest, so the sign goes
Up in the yard
(Chorus)
Twenty-four years without fitness
Ticker’s getting ready to go
So you push away from that
Heaping plate, and you get
Yourself
back into shape
(Chorus)
The Tennessee boy knew all along
Her lovin’ arms couldn’t
Hold him down
That perfect chord
Between right and wrong
Was the harmony they
Never found
He tried to explain but
She couldn’t see
The magic just wasn’t the same
Then the sadness came
Came hauntingly
Like darkness to a dying flame
Chorus:
When you come to the crossroads
What will you do
Tennessee flyer
When you have to decide
Will your heart be true
Tennessee flyer
Don’t you know that I felt the
Same way too?
Bound for Tularosa he
Left her behind
He knew that he’d never
See her again
Far distant memories
Seemed to remind
The faithless moon was
His only friend
Chorus:
When you come to the crossroads
What will you do
Tennessee flyer
When you have to decide
Will your heart be true
Tennessee flyer
Don’t you know that I felt the
Same way too?
Silly Children
Hey, I think you’ll find
It’s not the first time you’ve been
Wrapped in glory
I’ve heard the story once before
Repeat performance on the floor
Chorus:
You silly children
Quit your dreamin’ about
The things to come
It’s all been done so long ago
If you would listen you would know
When you’re spinnin’
Trying to hold your ground
Jubilation always takes you down
Where does it all go?
I think you’ve found
It all goes around
It all goes around
All the way around
(Chorus)
When you’re spinnin’ trying
To hold your ground
Jubilation always takes you down
Where does it all go?
I think you’ve found
It all goes around
It all goes around
All the way around
Just a Woman
My friends are all gone
I’m here all alone
No more sad songs to play
God only knows
The pain only grows
Lord I didn’t want it that way
Chorus:
Broken hearted is the
Way she made me feel
She was just a woman
But the feelin’ was so real
And I can’t shake it
It’s so hard to conceal
She was just a woman
My heart may never heal
They say I’m still young
A hero unsung
A good natured boy with a plan
It happened so fast
I thought it would last
But now that I know where I stand
(Chorus)
And a woman sure can
Make you cry
I’m beside myself
This will all pass by
A moment can change
The notion is strange
How warm hearts can
Turn into ice
I’ve lived and I’ve learned
I’ll face what I’ve earned
And won’t make the same
Mistake twice
(Chorus)
Song for Mom
Into this life I came Bearing your last name
You said it’s all good Welcome to the neighborhood
We have done the best we could To ready your world
Growing up strong and true
I did all that I could do
To learn your ways
Follow you throughout your days
Navigate the childhood maze
Then set my sail
Chorus:
Times change, we rearrange What we expect in life
It’s time we realize
That it’s alright to let go
Free the soul, free the soul
In my child’s eyes I see
Shades of you and me
They’ve learned the way
To celebrate each waking day
And do their best to never stray Too far from home
Your gentle love and grace
Kept a smile upon my face
Showing that it’s all good
Times you gotta knock on wood
And tell yourself that it’s all good To pull yourself through
Chorus:
Times change, we rearrange What we expect in life
It’s time we realize
That it’s alright to let go
Free the soul, free the soul
Times we have shared will fade
But your love will always stay Inside our hearts
Tucked away to play a part
In how we make a brand new start
With those by our side
Chorus:
Times change, we rearrange What we expect in life
It’s time we realize
That it’s alright to let go
Free the soul, free the soul
Free, free, free, free
(In loving memory of Dory Paul)
Away
Show me things
Only you know about
Take me places
Only you go around
I know that I might be afraid
He’s callin’ out, callin’ out to me
I know things
Are spinnin’ round you head and
Filling you with all kind of dread
The door’s open
Wide for you to see
Step inside, come inside with me
Chorus:
If you want to go
If you want to know
If you want to go, go now
Take my hand
And cross the bridge with me
One small step
Is all it needs to be
If you want wait a while and see
I’ll be here waitin’ patiently
(Chorus)
If you want to go away with me
Never gonna be too far, too far
If you want to go away with me
Never gonna be too far, too far
Show me things
Only you know about
Take me places
Only you go around
I know that I might be afraid
He’s callin’ out, callin’ out to me
(Chorus)
If you want to go away with me
I’m never gonna be too far, Too far
If you want to go away with me
I’m never gonna be too far
Thru These Eyes
Another night of madness
I can’t take it no more
This life you live
I never bargained for
That last angry phone call
Who knows what you’ll do
I’m packin’ up tonight
Gonna leave this crazy life
It’s true
Chorus:
If you could see thru the Eyes that see thru you
You’d realize what is and
Isn’t true
It’s been too long, this time
I’m really thru
If you could see thru these
Eyes that see thru you
Adoration
Frustration
Miscalculation
Now all that’s left
Is your desperation
Hidin’ in the shadows
Disbelief on your face
Fear in my heart
A smile on my face
Chorus:
If you could see thru the
Eyes that see thru you
You’d realize what is and
Isn’t true
It’s been too long, this time
I’m really thru
If you could see thru these
Eyes that see thru you
Walking through
The fog of a new day
It seems to me a lifetime
Since I’ve seen your face
Days and nights anticipating
For the day when you return
My heart, it waits
Chorus:
Missing you
I long to hold you in my arms
Be with you
I need your loving charm
Missing you
I look ahead to the day
When I can be with you
We’ll let the whole world
Just go away
Just me and you
Let’s go home together
Lock the door, draw the shades
Wrapped up in each other we’ll Spend our days
Laughing and loving
Going out on the town
We’ll dance and sing
Never touch the ground
(Chorus)
Missing you
