Staring At The Sun - Simple Kid
Well we started out strong
And our hopes were high
Figured on bein' like Bonnie and Clyde
25 years 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 don't think that you understand
Just wanna 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 this song
How hard can it be just to get along
He said don't go sellin' your soul
He said don't go sellin' your soul
Hey man
You know
What's up
Too slow
Feels like I'm starin' at the sun
Get high
Get low
Don't let your ego
Out there
Starin' at the sun
Starin' at the sun
Well I got a lotta love for the modern man
Read a lotta books that I don't understand
Want a lotta things that I lost or stole
Just wanna hooker with a heart of gold
As my heart gets heavy
And my hair gets long
Hard can it be just to get along
When you don't go sellin' your soul
Yes don't go sellin' your soul
Hey man you know
What's up too slow
Feels like I'm starin' at the sun
Get high get low
Don't let your ego
Out there
Starin' at the sun
Starin' at the sun
Now baby
I love you
But spring's in the air
It just seems like maybe
We spend our days just
Smokin' pot and wonderin'
How we got so f**ked up
Hey man
You know
Don't let your ego
Feels like we're starin' at the sun
Hey man
You know
Don't let your ego
I'm here starin' at the sun
Hey man
You know
Don't let your ego
Feels like we're starin' at the sun
Hey man
You know
Don't let your ego
Out here starin' at the sun
Starin' at the sun
Starin' at the sun
Starin' at the sun
Starin' at the sun
