Patty Griffin - Under These Clouds lyrics

She says I deserve much better than this It's getting pretty plain to see She tells her boss,"here's my bu*t, Why don't you give it a kiss- You got all you're gonna get outta me" Twenty years ago with time in a gla** Graduation day to pave the way Nothing to show but a life moving too fast And a fear of almost everything And a fear of almost everything But they say get down under these clouds I was born down under these clouds So I stand up and sing it out loud Someone's still alive under their shroud And I don't wanna die Under these clouds Her momma tried real hard not to pa** it along And so her Momma did before that Somewhere, some day, Someone's singin' their song How everything good goes bad And it really was a gradual thing Pa**ed as easy as a cigarette You wake up one day wrapped in a ball of string Feelin' nothing good's happened to you yet Feels like nothing good's happened to you yet But they say get down under these clouds I was born down under these clouds So I stand up and sing it out loud Someone's still alive under their shroud And I don't wanna die Under these clouds
