Lyrics

People, Places, and Things - ©1996 Douglas Branson ASCAP

They always say things will be fine
living one day, living one day
one day at a time.
It's easier said than done
yes, my friends and my neighbors too.

They always said things were different
different in my time
different, yes but the same
Stay away from people places and things.
(Hey where have you heard that before)

(2X) Stay away from people, people places and things

gone with your old ways
out with your old days
open your new eyes
look up at blue blue skies

They always say things will be fine
living one day, living one day
one day at a time.
It's easier said than done
yes, my son and my daughter too
(You know what we all gotta do)

(2X) Stay away from people, people places and things

gone with your old ways
out with your road rage
open your new eyes
look up at blue blue skies

Spoken: Yeah things were different, different back in those days, but they're still the same. The only thing that's changed is the new high exorbitant prices for getting high. We still have the same old crisis over the same old vices. It's hard to keep your feet on the ground in this town, to keep your nose clean. It can be done. I see people around me doing it all the time.
