Rhytm of Life

Verse 1

Old tires

Piled by the rusted gate

Waiting on a change of weather

Hard rain

Heavy clouds

Cold water on the roof

Tapping out a rhythm I forgot how to hear

Lost it

Somewhere near the county line

Looking for a reason

Searching for a spark

Searching for a home

Searching for a way out

Chorus

But the clock keeps ticking slow

Moving like the river

Moving like the tall grass

Rhythm of life

Keeping me steady

Rhythm of life

Keeping me here

Rhythm of life

Rhythm of life

Verse 2

Dust

Settles on the dashboard

Hands tired from the steering wheel

Ten miles

Left to go

Before the sun is down

Before the shadows stretch across the porch

Blue light

Burning in the window pane

Coffee in a chipped mug

Silver in my hair

Silver in the sky

Silver on the lake

Cold

Bitter breeze

Chorus

But the clock keeps ticking slow

Moving like the river

Moving like the tall grass

Rhythm of life

Keeping me steady

Rhythm of life

Keeping me here

Rhythm of life

Rhythm of life

Bridge

I tried to run

I tried to hide

I tried to fight it

But the pulse is in the ground

Deep down

Where the roots grow thick

Where the heart stays quiet

Stays quiet

Stays quiet

Guitar Solo

Chorus

But the clock keeps ticking slow

Moving like the river

Moving like the tall grass

Rhythm of life

Keeping me steady

Rhythm of life

Keeping me here

Rhythm of life

Rhythm of life

Post-Chorus

Keeping me steady

Keeping me here

Rhythm of life

Rhythm of life

Ooh

Ooh

Outro

Just a simple beat

Steady on the wire

Steady on the wing

Let it go

Let it go

Let it go
