Corduroy Brown - Better On the Ground lyrics

Artist: Corduroy Brown

album: Let Me Know


It can be hard sometimes
To have a good view on life
When your mind's a game that you can't win
And you wish that you weren't here
That you'd up and disappear
Because maybe you don't matter anyway
When the life that you're living
Is hanging by a thread
And you're fighting from a hospital bed
They say to say your prayers
But I'd sure like if someone came on in
To wake me up and take me home
As I stand at heaven's gates
I'm asking God if it's too late
To tell me it's too soon and turn me around
I swear I'll do better on the ground
I swear I'll do better on the ground
Time is a tickin'
Set my mind straight while I'm still kicking
And when I get back on my feet
I'll only pick the fights worth pickin'
Legs that will move, lungs that will sing
A heart that will beat
I won't let my mind get the best of me
So don't take me now, we can turn this around
I swear that I'll do better on the ground
They say to say your prayers
But I'd sure like if someone came on in
To wake me up and take me home
As I stand at heaven's gates
I'm asking God if it's too late
To tell me it's too soon and turn me around
I need some more time, no not centuries
So my momma won't have to pray for me
I'm begging you God, I am on my knees
For twenty more years or so, that's enough
I wanted to die but you called my bluff
Just give me some more time and I'll make it up
I promise I'll make it up
They say to say your prayers
But I'd sure like if someone came on in
To wake me up and take me home
As I stand at heaven's gates
I'm asking God if it's too late
To tell me it's too soon and turn me around
I swear I'll do better on the ground
I know that I'll do better on the ground
I need some more time, no not centuries
So my momma won't have to pray for me
I'm begging you God, I am on my knees
For twenty more years or so, that's enough
I wanted to die but you called my bluff
Just give me some more time and I'll make it up
I need some more time, no not centuries
So my momma won't have to pray for me
I'm begging you God, I am on my knees
For twenty more years or so, that's enough
I wanted to die but you called my bluff
Just give me some more time and I'll make it up
I'll make it up
Don't take me now
We can turn this around
I swear that I'll do better on the ground
