lyrics

Earthbound Blues
Copyright 2019 Mike Norris Music

Well, I’ve been diagnosed with the symptoms
Of this sickness that we never mention.
I want change, I need redemption.
Come and wash my sins away
In the Summer rain

Cause I know i won’t be saved
from the hungry ground.
I ‘m a star earthbound.

I’ve counted up the cost
of every rusty nail that holds me to this cross.
My soul is weary. Put the fire to my blood.
Give me the courage to somehow rise above

Cause I know i won’t be saved
from the hungry ground.
I ‘m a star earthbound.
Hitched a ride along the way…
Rode with sinners and with saints,
All the kings and clowns.
They’re all headed down.
We are stars earthbound

Now I ain’t so concerned with my condition.
Since i found out what I’ve been missin’.
Stop and look around.
Shut up and listen.
Find your joy in life while you still can.

Cause I know i won’t be saved
from the hungry ground.
I ‘m a star earthbound.
A derelict of grace
Lost outside of heaven’s gate
And it’s a long way down.
I’m a star earthbound.
