about

The way things are is a state of mind...

...let that sink in for a moment, & when it does be sure to act accordingly!

lyrics

Life is hard but I don’t mind
The way things are is a state of mind
Made of stars all made to shine
Can't fall behind gotta cross the line

When I was younger I was haunted by the hunger pains
The one I wanted wasn't coming all my love’s in vain
Momma warned me don't get caught up in the numbers game
But I was stubborn now I know that I’m the only one to blame
Ain't a damn thing changed it's a damn shame
I never learned my lesson til I got burned by the flame
So many questions had me flooded by the summer rain
I tried to run away but I was naked when thunder came

Roots in the blues & my boots in the mud since a youth
Yes I knew felt it move through my blood like hundred proof
Put me in the booth told the truth to the judge
If you looking for my dues

Life is hard but I don’t mind
The way things are is a state of mind
Made of stars all made to shine
Can't fall behind gotta cross the line

When I got older hit the road on my own
My brother he’s a soldier but I’m more a rolling stone
Got my angel on my shoulder so I’m never alone
Keep my motor going baby it's a long way home
Got my Bible in my right hand rifle in the other
Striving for the righteous path but I’m a bad mother
Got my crown in the clouds ten toes to on the ground
Ain't no doubt you know exactly what I’m talking about

Roots in the blues & my boots in the mud since a youth
Yes I knew felt it move through my blood like hundred proof
Put me in the booth told the truth to the judge
If you looking for my dues

Life is hard but I don’t mind
The way things are is a state of mind
Made of stars all made to shine
Can't fall behind gotta cross the line

Came a long way came a long way
Came a long way came a long way
Came a long way came a long way
Just to cross the line
