Staring At The Sun (radio Edit) Lyrics - Singles - Simple Kid

Well, I started out strong 

And my hopes were high 

I figured Ill be like Bonnie and Clyde 

25 beers as an alibi, had to get connected 

So I wrote a long letter to a government man 

I told him I was born in the summer of Sam 

He said, "Son, I dont think that you understand 

I just wanna get elected" 

But my heart got heavy and my hair grew long 

I had to take a job just to get along 

I was down in the gutter below 

I was down in the gutter below 

As my daddy always said 

"Sing a song, how hard can it be just to get along?" 

He said, "Dont go selling your soul 

Yeah, dont go selling your soul" 

Hey man, you know, whats up, too slow 

Feels like I'm staring at the sun 

You get high, you get low, dont let your ego 

Ive been staring at the sun, staring at the sun 

Well, I got a lot of love for the modern man 

I read a lot of books that I dont understand 

Won a lot of things, but I lost your soul 

Just want a hooker with a heart of gold 

As my heart gets heavy and my hair gets long 

How hard can it be just to get along? 

When you dont go selling your soul 

Yes, dont go selling your soul 

Hey man, you know, whats up, too slow 

Feels like I'm staring at the sun 

You get high, you get low, dont let your ego 

Ive been staring at the sun, staring at the sun 

Now baby, I love you when spring's in the air 

But it just seems like, lately 

We spend our days just smoking pot and 

Wondering how we got so fucked up 

Hey man, you know, dont let your ego 

Feels like we're staring at the sun 

Hey man, you know, dont let your ego 

I've been staring at the sun 

Hey man, you know, dont let your ego 

Feels like we're staring at the sun 

Hey man, you know, dont let your ego 

I've been staring at the sun, staring at the sun 

Staring at the sun 

Staring at the sun 

Staring at the sun
