Check It Out

(albüm: The Lonesome Jubilee - 1987)

A million young poets
Screaming out their words
To a world full of people
Just living to be heard
Future generations
Riding on the highways that we built
I hope they have a better understanding

Check it out
Going to work on Monday
Check it out
Got yourself a family
Check it out
All utility bills have been paid
You can't tell your best buddy that you love him
So check it out
Where does our time go
Check it out
Got a brand new house in escrow
Check it out
Sleeping with your back to your loved one
This is all that we've learned about happiness

Check it out
Forgot to say hello to my neighbors
Check it out
Sometimes I question my own behavior
Check it out
Talking about the girls that we've seen on the sly
Just to tell our souls we're still the young lions
So check it out
Getting too drunk on Saturdays
Check it out
Playing football with the kids on Sundays
Check it out
Soaring with the eagles all week long
And this is all that we've learned about living
This is all that we've learned about living

A million young poets
Screaming out their words
Maybe someday
Those words will be heard
By future generations
Riding on the highways that we built
Maybe they'll have a better understanding
Check it out
Hope they'll have a better understanding
Check it out
Maybe they'll have a better understanding
Check it out
Maybe they'll have a better understanding
Check it out
Hope they have a better understanding
Check it out.....
