[Verse 1]
I don't drink the way that I used to
Lately that just isn't my style
And the hard times don't hurt like they once did
They pass more quickly like when I was wild
[Chorus]
And somehow I've learned how to listen
To a sound like the sun going down
In the magic the morning is bringing
There's a song for the life I have found
It keeps my feet on the ground
[Verse 2]
The mid summer days aren't too heavy
They just flow like a breeze through my mind
And nothing appears in a hurry
To make up for some old lost times
[Chorus][x2]
