The Rest Of Us

(album: Holler Back - 2008)

There are those who wake up every morning
Pull the curtains back smilin at the sun
They hold their head high when the rain is pouring
Lay down in peace when the day is done
Oh, then theres the rest of us

The ones out here blowin in the wind
Tryin to find what we shoulda been
Makin our choices hopin were right
Livin on the prayers we say at night
Tryin to out run the devil and the pain
Learnin to live with what we cant change
God bless the rest of us

There are those who find love the first time
And do what it takes to make it last
They don't have to lose it to finally realize
The sweet sweet gift that they had
Oh, then theres the rest of us

The ones out here blowin in the wind
Tryin to find what we shoulda been
Makin our choices hopin were right
Livin on the prayers we say at night
Tryin to out run the devil and the pain
Learnin to live with what we cant change
God bless the rest of us

Sometimes, Lord, its all I can do to breathe
But Ill be all right with my brothers and my sisters around me

The ones out here blowin in the wind
Tryin to find what we shoulda been
Makin our choices hopin were right
Livin on the prayers we say at night
Tryin to out run the devil and the pain
Learnin to live with what we cant change
God bless the rest of us, God bless the rest of us
God bless the rest of us
