One Foot Down - Peter Bradley Adams

April lay in your hands

The sign of rain for the year

You knew the time had come at last

Your heart no longer called you here

Oh, carolina, something’s wrong

You’ve lost the wind in your sails

And now you float to a land

And you pray the ground will not fail

'cause everybody had one good year

Everybody let their long hair down

Everybody had one bad dream

Everybody saw the bright sun shine

Everybody had one hard time

Everybody had a real good time

Everybody pulled one sock up

Everybody put one foot down

You could say that this is fate

That left you alone standing here

It’s like you’ve traded the world for

A chance, a ship to steer

You face the mirror on the wall

You hold a knife to your hair

You fill the sink with your curls

For the life you a have spread

'cause everybody had one good year…
