This Side of the Soil

Two payments late on this broke down pickup
One switch away from the lights going out
There’s one, two strikes against me
No matter where I turn things are going south
It hard to tell if I'm blessed or cursed
Well hell it could be a whole lot worse

Sun's shining
Moon's rising
The world keeps turning
I'm doing my best
I'm living
I'm breathing
Hearts still beating in the middle of my chest
This life might be all struggle and toil
At least I'm on this side of the soil

My baby don't have a big rock on her finger
She knows my promise it's good as gold
When dawn breaks I'll be working
But tonight she’ll be mine to hold
Bottom line I got no net worth
I could be the luckiest man on earth

Sun's shining
Moon's rising
I got a good woman I'm doing my best
I'm living
I'm breathing
Hearts still beating in the middle of my chest
This life might be all struggle and toil
At least I'm on this side of the soil

Yeah that grass may be
A little greener in the other side
I got no money but I got me a honey
And good Lord I'm alive

Bottom line I got no net worth
But I could be the luckiest man on earth

(Chorus)
