Let The Picture Paint Itself - Rodney Crowell

We try so hard to make it all work out

Sometimes sittin' on the top of the world

Sometimes very deep in doubt

And if the only thing that tomorrow brings

Is the sunrise on the top of that hill

I’m gonna sit right down and watch the world go around

And never think about another damn bill

Some men live for money some for art

One guy thinks he’s funny

The other guy thinks he’s smart

Everybody’s gonna get lucky every now and then

And the one who’s feelin' so low down

Now is later on gonna win

Let the picture paint itself and it’ll be all right

You don’t have to try so hard

You don’t have to hold on so tight

Let the picture paint itself and it’ll only get better

And when the day is through and it’s just me and you

We’ll be feeling so good we’ll be knocking on wood

If you think you’ve got troubles just look around

And don’t go out in public all turned upside down

If the only thing that you’re livin' for is pain

There’s a real good chance you’ll get nothing more

Than a lot more of the same

Let the picture paint itself and it’ll be all right

You don’t have to try so hard

You don’t have to hold on so tight

Let the picture paint itself and it’ll only get better

And when the day is through and it’s just me and you

We’ll be feeling so good we’ll be knocking on wood
