Shining Lyrics

Y'all should have seen me

When I was sixteen years old

Had my hair hangin' free down my back

It used to shine in the sun like gold.

Went eight years of grade school

Four years of high school

I was never sick one day

And the kids that were with you in the first grade

Were with you all the way

We'd go over to Augusta for a ball game

We'd all go down to Daytona for the race

We'd go over to the drive-in every Friday

Shining in the sun like gold

Some cold winter morning, outside the school

And the bell hadn't rung just yet
Randy Newman - Shining - http://motolyrics.com/randy-newman/shining-lyrics.html
We stand outside the gate, smoke a cigarette

Brushin' the snow off our clothes, and lean against the wall

Shining

And there wasn't no baby cryin'

And there wasn't no laundry waitin' for me on the line

If I didn't want to be alone, I didn't have to be alone

All I had to do was shine

Shining

Shining

Lord there must be something better

Lord it just don't seem right

To cook the same breakfast for the same man every morning

Sleep with the same man every night

For the rest of my life

For the rest of my life
