SONG FOR LIFE
(Rodney Crowell)
Sung by Alison Krauss on "Too Late To Cry" (1987)

D              A         Bm       D7
  I don't drink as much as I used to.
  G          A7            D       A
  Lately, it just ain't my style,
  D                    A              Bm        D7
  And hard times don't last like they used to.
  G                       A7           D
  They pass quicker, like when I was a child.    

CHORUS:
  G            A7             D
  Somehow I've learned how to listen
       G              A7        Bm     D7
  To a sound like the sun going down,
          G         A7         D        G
  And the magic the morning is bringing home
    D          A           Bm     D7
  A song for a life I have found.
  G           A7          D
  It keeps my feet on the ground.

The midsummer days sit so heavy
But don't they blow like a breeze through your mind,
When nothing appears in a hurry
To make up for someone's lost time? CHORUS
