Long as It Shines

[Verse 1]
Sittin' on the porch like I always do
Makin' out them [?]
Drink a beer and watch the trains go by
Thinkin' fast and movin' slow
Got a clock on the stereo
It's only time but my how that time flies

[Verse 2]
There's a big ol' tree hangin' over me
Tellin' me to let things be
How they gonna be 'cause the rest is a waste of time
You can't control the way things go
Only how you let 'em know roll off your back
As they go passin' by

[Chorus]
Murky things can be pretty too (Pretty too)
Happy things can make you blue (Make you blue)
Can't explain the way things change
Sometimes it's just the way things do
It don't matter which way the sun shines, baby
As long as it shines on you

[Verse 3]
And that big oak tree hangin' over me
Is sayin' "Hey boy can't you see
That the place to seek is a state of gracious mind
'Cause when your day is done it's done
You're not promised another one
So enjoy the sun while it still shines"

[Chorus]
Murky things can be pretty too (Pretty too)
Happy things can make you blue (Make you blue)
Can't explain the way things change
Sometimes it's just the way things do
It don't matter which way the sun shines, baby
As long as it shines on you

[Bridge]
When it shines on you let it shine on you (Let it shine, let it shine, let it shine on you)
When it shines on you let it shine on you (Let it shine, let it shine, let it shine on you)
When it shines on you let it shine on you (Let it shine, let it shine, let it shine on you)
Let it shine on you
It don't matter which way the sun shines, baby
As long as it shines on you
It don't matter which way the sun shines, baby
As long as it shines on you

[Outro]
(Let it shine, let it shine, let it shine on you)
(Let it shine, let it shine, let it shine on you)
(Let it shine, let it shine, let it shine on you)
(Let it shine, let it shine, let it shine on you)
