Lyrics
NOTHING APPEARS TO BE RIGHT
Song and Lyrics By: Glenn Schlehofer
CHORUS ( Gm7, A, E7, Gm7, A, E7, D7, A, E7 )
VERSE ( D7, A, E7 )
VERSE 1
Walking slow one day, kicking dirt to the wind
It came to me, I feel I?m loosing ground again
My PF flyers right in style you know
I?m running fast running right down the road
CHORUS
Nothing appears to be, nothing appears to be, nothing appears to be right
VERSE 2
I gotta get home gotta get my stuff done today
Because being a kid ain?t just work and no play
I?m feeling the sun lets have some fun before dawn
Going to school it?s not so cool I know
CHORUS
Nothing appears to be, nothing appears to be, nothing appears to be right
BREAK ( FULL VERSE AND CHORUS )
VERSE 3
Skipping through the snow got no place to go but up
Daddy?s working hard mamas gone it ain?t right
Need to fix my car brakes and shocks and alternator
Cause I?m tired of walking and kicking dirt to the wind
CHORUS
VERSE 4
Cause I?m tired of walking and kicking dirt to the wind
Cause I?m tired of walking and kicking dirt to the wind
Cause I?m tired of walking and kicking dirt to the wind
Cause I?m tired of walking and kicking dirt to the wind
CHORUS THREE TIMES AND FADE, SLOW DOWN ON 3rd
