John Kairis - The Back of God Lyrics

On the back of good times there's a plague ready to rain on our parade
Then the clouds will clear and rainbows illuminate the skies
When the evening comes our company hums the tales of another day
Our stories drip down through the grit of that endless line
Ooh, da-do-do-do
Ooh, da-do-do-do
Ya-ooh, da-do-do-do-ayy
Ya-ooh, dwee-de-de-do
On the back of that page there's an old memory coming to take my life
Well I live right now, can't turn back, I'm not ready to say goodbye
On the frontier plain there's a blood-red stain on the rocks across the roadside
As I pass by all I can do is hold my head and cry
Ooh, da-do-do-do
Ooh, da-do-do-do
Ya-ooh, da-do-do-do-ayy
Ya-ooh, dwee-de-de-do
On the back of her arm there's a farmer's fist holding a lemon up to the light
She don't see it much, but the knowledge that it's there gives her strength
On the front of her arm are the words of her dad saying everything's alright
Ooh, to all of you I give gratitude and thanks
The back of God is just as good as the front
Along the way we gotta stop for lunch
I'll take my time and hear the leaves crunch
The back of God is just as good as the front
In the end I don't know too much
I've made mistakes, I've had some bad luck
The back of God is just as good as the front
Along the way we gotta stop for lunch
I'll take my time and hear the leaves crunch
The back of God is just as good as the front
In the end I don't know too much
I've made mistakes, I've had some bad luck
The back of God is just as good as the front
This love fills my cup
Everything'll be fine, I've got good hunch
The back of God is just as good as the front
Everything'll be fine, I've got good hunch
The back of God is just as good as the front
