Let The Picture Paint Itself Lyrics - Rodney Crowell

We try so hard to make it all work out 

Sometimes sittin' on the top of the world 

Sometimes very deep in doubt 

And if the only thing that tomorrow brings 

Is the sunrise on the top of that hill 

I'm gonna sit right down and watch the world go around 

And never think about another damn bill 

Some men live for money some for art 

One guy thinks he's funny 

The other guy thinks he's smart 

Everybody's gonna get lucky every now and then 

And the one who's feelin' so low down 

Now is later on gonna win

(Chorus) 

Let the picture paint itself and it'll be all right 

You don't have to try so hard 

You don't have to hold on so tight 

Let the picture paint itself and it'll only get better 

And when the day is through and it's just me and you 

We'll be feeling so good we'll be knocking on wood 

Photos 

If you think you've got troubles just look around 

and don't go out in public all turned upside down 

If the only thing that you're livin' for is pain 

There's a real good chance you'll get nothing more 

Than a lot more of the same 

(Chorus)
