Bacon Brothers - Grace lyrics

Written by kevin bacon and michael bacon

"a song about thanksgiving - not the holidayjust the act of giving thanks." kb

Bobby's lyin' round like the wakin' dead

He's got a big black cloud hangin' over his head

I want to get him upget him out the door

I'd like to get him drunkbut he don't drink no more

He says"ohbuddyI really thought she was the one

Tell me what happened'cause we were havin' so much fun."

Some of us will live in loveand some will watch love die

There but for the grace of yougo i

Girl but for the grace of yougo i

Teddy married bettywhen they were still in school

And he never was her first choiceshe never was his fool

50 years togetherthat was somethin' less than bliss

Rarely did they tell the truth and rarely did they kiss

Pass the fish sticksand tell me what you did today

And the clock ticksthey're runnin' out of things to say

I've seen ashes in the windand I've never seen him cry

There but for the grace of yougo i

Girl but for the grace of yougo i

Off we go in a cloud of dustlet the chips fall where they must

Girl you turned my life aroundin the time it takes a heart to pound

Some of us will live in loveand some will watch love die

There but for the grace of yougo i

Girl but for the grace of yougo i
