Moon On The Rise Lyrics - Ozark Mountain Daredevils

(GUITAR INTRO) 

when that moon is on the rise 

and the light gets in your eyes 

and stirs somethin' that used to lie 

inside you 'till you ask why 

why ain't I just passin' by 

like that moon that's on the rise 

it shouldn't come as no surprise 

I been back here time and time 

like that sun that brings the spring 

I know I'll be back again 

if you don't know what you do 

when it's over and we're through 

watch what happens every spring 

what was dead is live again 

so why should you be odd man out 

you should forget all your doubts 

while some people look for purpose 

their life passes by 

right before their eyes 

and if the purpose is to do good 

that's an easy way to live everyday 

if you would 

(GUITAR SOLO) 

so when the moon is on the rise 

and that light gets in your eyes 

and stirs something' that used to lie 

inside you 'till you ask why 

why ain't I just passin' by 

like that moon that's on the rise 

it shouldn't come as no surprise 

I been back here time and time 

like that sun that brings the spring 

I know that I'll be back again 

like that moon that's on the rise 

I know I'll be back in time 

I know I'll be back in time 

I know I'll be back in time 

I know I'll be back in time
