Grace Lyrics

Grace lyrics

Written by kevin bacon and michael bacon

 

 "a song about thanksgiving - not the holiday, just the act of giving
thanks." kb

 

 Bobby's lyin' round like the wakin' dead

 He's got a big black cloud hangin' over his head

 I want to get him up, get him out the door

 I'd like to get him drunk, but he don't drink no more

 He says, "oh, buddy, i really thought she was the one

 Tell me what happened, 'cause we were havin' so much fun."

 

 Some of us will live in love, and some will watch love die

 There but for the grace of you, go i

 Girl but for the grace of you, go i

 

 Teddy married betty, when they were still in school

 And  he never was her first choice, she never was his fool

 50 years together, that was somethin' less than bliss

 Rarely did they tell the truth and rarely did they kiss

 Pass the fish sticks, and tell me what you did today

 And the clock ticks, they're runnin' out of things to say

 

 I've seen ashes in the wind, and i've never seen him cry

 There but for the grace of you, go i

 Girl but for the grace of you, go i

 

 Off we go in a cloud of dust, let the chips fall where they must

 Girl you turned my life around, in the time it takes a heart to pound

 

 Some of us will live in love, and some will watch love die

 There but for the grace of you, go i

 Girl but for the grace of you, go i
