Lyrics

One More Reason

Long as I can drink cool water on a hot midsummer's day
long as she?s still smiling at the silly things I say
long as there's a place where I can stand on solid ground
there's always one more reason to hang around

long as there's a window pane lettin? in the morning sun
long as there's a bed to lie in when the long hard day is done
long as I can find a place to lay my burden down
there's always one more reason to hang around

I used to be so restless, I never could sit still
there always had to be somewhere to go
it's not that I got tired, taking every step uphill
but I don't mind that things are moving slow

long as my ten fingers can still pick my favorite songs
long as there's a barroom I can get a little gone
long as folks are listening while I make this lonesome sound
there's always one more reason to hang around

the world keeps moving faster, I tried to keep the pace
now I think I'd rather I got left behind
I could watch my hair turn grey and count the lines across my face
or stay right here and rest my troubled mind

Long as I can drink cool water on a hot midsummer's day
long as she's still laughing at the silly things I say
long as I got two strong legs and both feet on the ground
there's always one more reason to hang around
