Duff Mckagan - Shinin' Down lyrics

Sister's in the old barn, sleeping off a big storm

Brother's at the pool hall, thinking all his bad thoughts

Papa's in the cellar, sneaking off a quick drink

And god is up in heaven, no one cares what he thinks

Shinin' down, shinin' down

Mama's living in her grave, buried with the frying pan

I'm just sitting on the porch, waiting for the mailman

Papa doesn't have much hope, he wishes things were better

When I get a chance to leave, it's gonna be forever

Shinin' down, shinin' down ... yeah

At night sometimes I take a walk, down by the power lines

Somewhere I can be alone, sit and smell the ozone

God says "don't you be afraid" he can make it better

If I get a chance to leave, it's gonna be forever

Shinin' down

Shinin' down

Shinin' down

Shinin' down
