Only Uphill

This Is Me Smiling

[Verse 1]
A couple hundred steps to the end of the hike
Another hundred miles in a van on a turnpike
Busy bodies looking to the future to find
They’re still a little bit behind

[Pre-Chorus]
They fall down in the pitch black night
Steady ground fading from their sight
A disappointed town in a country that’s turning out the lights
Working hard to feel alright

[Chorus]
Lately the path is going only uphill
Maybe the best approach is just standing still
Some of those eastern guys don’t need a reward
They sit around a lot but never look bored

[Verse 2]
A shiny set of bootstraps to be pulled up
Rags to riches don’t come true (beg!) begging with a cup
Busy bodies looking to the future to find they’re still a little bit behind

[Pre-Chorus]
They fall down in the pitch black night
Steady ground fading from their sight
A disenchanted frown in a picture that’s hardly black and white
In the early morning light

[Chorus]
Lately the path is going only uphill
Maybe the best approach is just standing still
Some of those eastern guys don’t need a reward
They sit around a lot but never look bored

[Keys solo and outro]
