Rodney Crowell - This Too Will Pass lyrics

When the winds of change hit hard and knock you off your guard

And you find out there's a serpent in the grass

Though forked tongues might speak if truth is what you seek

This too will pass

When your all tied up in knots and your friends are taking shots

And the sun comes up and kicks you in the ass

When your stumbling down the aisle and you feel like you're on trial

This too will pass

Sometimes you've gotta go down the middle of the road

Where compromise puts speed bumps in your path

If you know what you won't let no one say you don't

This too will pass

Sometimes you gotta crawl through the middle of it all

But don't compromise your heart for something crass

When everything you do just feels like nothing new

This too will pass

When your all locked up in pain be careful who you blame

This too will pass
