Don't talk, pour me another one So warm, throat is burning up My feet light up in the dark Four drinks gone, never stop Tomorrow memory gone Lost count after the last shot I'm off this world just a little while Getting loose to the same song And if you want something from me Ask me tomorrow And if you want something from me Ask me tomorrow Feeling good, feeling fresh Feeling fly, I'm so alive Is it real, is it fake Do I care or do I mind Got my drink, got my glass In my hand, it is the time I ain't got no thoughts to borrow You better ask me tomorrow Feeling good, feeling fresh Feeling fly, I'm so alive Is it real, is it fake Do I care or do I mind Got my drink, got my glass In my hand, it is the time I ain't got no thoughts to borrow You better ask me tomorrow Second verse, here comes another one Pour it up, sir, give me some I ain't drunk, I'm just having fun' Now let me tell you where I'm coming from I can get up in this vibe All day, all night, you know I'm off this world just a little while Getting loose to the same song And if you want something from me Ask me tomorrow And if you want something from me Ask me tomorrow Feeling good, feeling fresh Feeling fly, I'm so alive Is it real, is it fake Do I care or do I mind Got my drink, got my glass In my hand, it is the time I ain't got no thoughts to borrow You better ask me tomorrow Feeling good, feeling fresh Feeling fly, I'm so alive Is it real, is it fake Do I care or do I mind Got my drink, got my glass In my hand, it is the time I ain't got no thoughts to borrow You better ask me tomorrow You better ask me, ask me tomorrow You better ask me, ask me tomorrow You better ask me, ask me tomorrow You better ask me, ask me tomorrow Feeling good, feeling fresh Feeling fly, I'm so alive Is it real, is it fake Do I care or do I mind Got my drink, got my glass In my hand, it is the time I ain't got no thoughts to borrow You better ask me tomorrow Feeling good, feeling fresh Feeling fly, I'm so alive Is it real, is it fake Do I care or do I mind Got my drink, got my glass In my hand, it is the time I ain't got no thoughts to borrow You better ask me tomorrow

I see her as a little girl hiding in her room She takes another bath and she sprays her momma's perfume To try to wipe away the scent he left behind But it haunts her mind. You see she's his little rag, nothing more than just a waif And he's mopping up his need, she is tired and afraid Maybe she'll find a way through these awful years to disappear. Ask me if I think there's a God up in the heaven Where did He go in the middle of her shame? Ask me if I think there's a God up in the heavens I see no mercy and no one down here's naming names Nobody's naming names. Now she's looking in the mirror at a lovely woman face No more frightened little girl, like she's gone without a trace Still she leaves the light burning in the hall It's hard to sleep at all. Still she crawls up in her bed acting quiet as a mouse Deep inside she's listening for a creaking in the house But noone's left to harm her, she's finally safe and sound There's a peace she's found. Ask her how she knows there's a God up in the heaven Where did He go in the middle of her shame? Ask her how she knows there's a God up in the heavens She said His mercy is bringing her life again. Ask me how I know there's a God up in the heaven (How do you know?) Where did He go in the middle of her shame (Where did He go?) Ask me how I know there's a God up in the heavens (How do you know?) She said his mercy is bringing her life again She's coming to life again. He's in the middle of her pain In the middle of her shame Mercy brings life He's in the middle Mercy in the middle. So ask me how I know Ask me how I know, yeah Ask me how I know there's a God up in the heaven (How do you know?) Ask me how I know there's a God up in the heavens (How do you know?) Yeah, ask me how I know (How do you know?) Ask me Ask me Ask me how I know (How do you know?) There's a God up in the heavens Ask me how I know there's a God up in the heavens.

I could shed my skin and in the blink of an eye I could fly, fly, fly Tie my dreams up in a sack and Lay my head down on the track and die die die My life's been so sweet I just can't stand it I must admit I've made out like a bandit Last night's conversation with a real good friend of mine, drinkin wine Wine wine Said fifty years of livin and your worst mistakes forgiven just takes time time time One man's lust for life brings world reknown And the next guy can't get two feet off the ground... he's earthbound Earthbound... hear the wind through the tops of the trees Earthbound... summer sun nearly ninety degrees Earthbound... big ol' moon sinking down... think I might stick Around EARTHBOUND I knew love once way back when she had almond eyes and olive skin And long black hair She was Irish Spanish mixbreed, I was southeast Texas hayseed We were almost there Earth Daddy did not like my kind around True love took the next train out of town... earthbound Earthbound... where there's fathers and daughters in pain Earthbound... mama's boy walking home in the rain Earthbound... like a ship run aground, think I might stick around EARTHBOUND With each new day that passes I'm in need of thicker glasses but it's All O K Someday I'll be leaving but I just can't help believing that it's not Today Every golden moment I have found I've done my best to run right in the ground... earthbound Earthbound... see the sky big and beautiful blue Earthbound... fallen angels come callin' for you Earthbound... keepin' close to the ground think I might stick around Earthbound... Tom Waits, Aretha Franklin, Mary Karr Earthbound... Walter Cronkite, Seamus Heaney, Ringo Starr Dalai Lama, Charlie Brown make me wanna stick around EARTHBOUND
