There was a time, and I'd hate to say it,
but he tried to play it and it wouldn't make sound.
Meanwhile a high went rolling through Fayette,
he tried to relay it and wound up in the ground.
You'll never know but he tried to tell you
bout things they sell you at the wrong end of town,
lo and behold, as they will compel you
as they might as well you if you're hanging around.
Until then they will give it away
and a body once yours somehow isn't today.
To a point you won't care how much it weighs.
Chorus:
Said find life child and adore it.
Let love run wild, don't ignore it.
Put on a smile before it gets too late.
How should he know why you wouldn't? Listen,
to the wind your pissing down the wrong avenue.
Way back home he found that and this and
other things went missing, except for the blues.
Until then he had put it away,
but your daddy's guitar's somehow crying today.
To the point he don't care what goes or stays.
Chorus:
Said find life child and adore it.
Let love run wild, don't ignore it.
Put on a smile before it gets too late.
How many times does he have to say it
before you betray it and you're back at the start?
Roll of the die - never asked to play it, mama.
Be that may, it wouldn't keep y'all apart.
Until then you would give it away.
With a body like yours, little no's in your way.
To a point you don't care how much they pay.
Chorus:
Said find life child and adore it.
Let love run wild, don't ignore it.
Put on a smile before it gets too late.
