Used to be alright lyrics

Artist  : I mother earth 
Song : Used to be alright
 
It's pretty good, the wine 
The way that we look at 
Ten to eight in the morning 
Just talking, still awake in 
Dawn and dew drinking, thinking 
Always... 
  
Remembering the laughs, the time 
We got high for seven days down 
In New Orleans and it seemed like 
No one else knew we were just 
The moon and sun in fog before the 
Heat burned it away and took 
The sleep from tired heads on 
Beds of reaching hands, of road trip 
Breath and long tall freedom 
  
And then you long 
For the days of trippin' down 
The long road just reading the 
Signs that show you the way to 
A higher place you meditate to 
Feel the quiet of the earth 
That was back 
When we used to be alright 
  
Another shame, the way 
The city smells worse on 
A hot day in August...2 PM 
Right before us good movers 
Move and us shakers break 
Our hearts getting home to 
Country love and the garbage 
Dump by the dried up creek 
Near the forest that once had life 
And then I turn on the news 
Somebody shoot me soon 
I'm tired of over heating, falling 
Quick to bending knees and 
Broken veins, of always needing 
Faith to get to shore and break 
All the vows I've made 
  
No time or presence 
Of mind to wonder why 
No time for questions of 
Why I wonder why 
Something's wrong...again 
The noise shakes the ground 
There's a rage in 
The crowd and I'm a face 
In the crowd, what's your name? 
You're sinkin' in the sand 
Standing next to me, a river 
Running through your pants, afraid 
To trust me when my hands 
Are helping you
