Lyrics

THIS SIDE OF THE GRASS

PEOPLE FUSSIN AND PEOPLE FIGHTIN, KIDS DIEIN THE NEWS IS FRIGHTENING
SOMETIMES THIS OLD WORLD'S JUST HARD TO FACE
THEN A BOY COMES HOME A HERO
OR THE HOME TEAMS 10 TO ZERO AND I REALIZE THIS AIN'T THAT BAD A PLACE

( CHORUS)

SOME DAYS RAIN AND SOME DAYS SHINE
SOME DAYS PAIN BUT I'LL BE FINE
I KNOW THESE CRAZY DAYS AIN'T GONNA LAST
I LIVE MY LIFE THE WAY I SHOULD
TAKE THE BAD AND I'LL LOVE THE GOOD
LORD WATCH OVER ME IS ALL I ASK
AS LONG AS I'M ON THIS SIDE OF THE GRASS

MY WOMAN'S CRYIN, THE BABY'S SLEEPIN
CAUSE DADDY'S WORKIN THRU THE WEEKEND
LONELY'S JUST A PRICE WE GOTTA PAY
CAUSE SOME DAY SHE'LL GO TO COLLEGE
WE'LL PROUDLY BUY HER KNOWLEDGE
AND WE'LL HURT LIKE HELL WHEN WE WATCH HER MOVE AWAY

(REPEAT CHORUS)

(BRIDGE)

IF GOD GIVES ME TOMORROW I'LL PUT YESTERDAY BEHIND ME
I CAN'T WORRY ABOUT THE THINGS THAT I CAN'T CHANGE
BURY THE PAIN AND SORROW SO TRUE HAPPINESS CAN FIND ME
AND I PRAY THE ONES I LOVE CAN DO THE SAME

( REPEAT CHORUS)

Grabs you from first chord! Nice vocals. Good Chorus. I like how you get to the chorus quickly. Overall lyrics are great.

"putting yesterday behind me" 'could be a nice first bridge line?
