Tony Fulgham - Sweet Life Lyrics

She was always a day late and a dollar short
Never runnin' to, but always runnin' from
By the time she found where she was goin
It was too late, too late to see the sun
If you blink you'll miss it and it's a special sight
So lift your eyes up to the sky
It ain't God or a special plan
It's just today layin' in your hands
There ain't no God or a promised land
It's just your sweet life lying in your hands
She was always worried with an endless story
Tall tales woven with a troubled mind
Drawing maps with the blood of ghosts
Is the shortest path to the end of the line
If you blink you'll miss it and it's a special sight
So lift your eyes up to the sky
It ain't God or a special plan
It's just today layin' in your hands
There ain't no God or a promised land
It's just your sweet life lying in your hands
Don't take much to see the writing
I built my castle staring at that wall
I've been taking a hammer to these shackles
I've been trying to break them before I fall
Oh, before I fall
I've been trying to shake it before I fall
I've been trying to shake it before I fall
And oh, I fall
If you blink you'll miss it and it's a special sight
So lift your eyes up to the sky
It ain't God or a special plan
It's just today layin' in your hands
There ain't no God or a promised land
It's just your sweet life
There ain't no God or a promised land
It's just your sweet life
Lying in your hands
