From the recording Ashland Avenue
Lyrics
Well we made it through the winter nights
Work was slow and the money tight
Beans and rice and Pabst Blue Ribbon beer
All we can do is the best we can
A country life, a simple plan
If you wait it out with me I’ll stay right here
I’d hoped someday you might forgive
The way I was the way I lived
We’d have to go way back to understand
Cuz there are things below the waterline
That only surface when it’s time
Right now seems that time’s in high demand
Chorus: Wait for the changes
They’re sure to come around
I know you’re gettin’ restless
And this world can bring you down
But baby I’ve been there before
And I’m sure I’ll go again
There’s nothin’ they can do to me
Cuz I’ve already been
Bridge: Headin’ down a western road
All alone again
Talkin’ to myself I guess
Trying to make a friend
Seems like only yesterday
The wind was cold the clouds were gray
Now it’s friendly weather under sunny skies
The river’s rising up the banks
And I’m on my knees giving thanks
It’s all unfolding right before our eyes
