Simple Kid – Staring At The Sun lyrics

Well I started out strong and my hopes were high
Figured on being like Bonny and Clyde
25 beers is an alibi
had to get connected
So I wrote a long letter to a government man
Told him I was born in the summer of Sam
He said son i dont think that you understand
just want to get elected
But my heart got heavy and my hair grew long
Had to take a job just to get along
I was down in the gutter below
I was down in the gutter below
As my daddy always said - sing a song
how hard can it be just to get along
He said don't go sellin your soul
said dont go sellin your soul

Hey man - you know - what's up - too slow feels like im staring at the sun
i get high - i get low - dont let you e-go
out there staring at the sun
staring at the sun

well i gotta lotta love for the modern man
i read alotta books that i dont understand
I want a lot of things that are lost or stole
just wanna hooker with a heart of gold
cuz my heart gets heavy and my hair gets long
hard gotta be just to get along
well ya dont go sellin your soul
just dont go sellin your soul
hey man - you know - whats up - too slow
feels like im staring at the sun
i get high - i get low - dont let your e-go out there staring at the sun
staring at the sun

now baby i love you
when springs in the air
but it just seems that lately its spent dancing
and smoking pot
and wondering how we got so
fucked-up

hey man you know
dont let your e-go
feels like im staring at the sun
hey man you know
dont let your e-go
feels like we're staring at the sun
hey man you know
dont let your e-go
feels like were staring at the sun
hey man you know
dont let your e-go
out here we're staring at the sun
staring at the sun
