Grace lyrics

Written by Kevin Bacon and Michael Bacon



"A song about thanksgiving - not the holiday, just 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 up, get him out the door

I`d like to get him drunk, but he don`t drink no more

He says, "Oh, buddy, I really thought she was the one

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



Some of us will live in love, and some will watch love die

There but for the grace of you, go I

Girl but for the grace of you, go I



Teddy married Betty, when they were still in school

Andhe never was her first choice, she never was his fool

50 years together, that was somethin` less than bliss

Rarely did they tell the truth and rarely did they kiss

Pass the fish sticks, and tell me what you did today

And the clock ticks, they`re runnin` out of things to say



I`ve seen ashes in the wind, and I`ve never seen him cry

There but for the grace of you, go I

Girl but for the grace of you, go I



Off we go in a cloud of dust, let the chips fall where they must

Girl you turned my life around, in the time it takes a heart to pound



Some of us will live in love, and some will watch love die

There but for the grace of you, go I

Girl but for the grace of you, go I
