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 round And never thing 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 lowdown now is later on gonna win Let the picture pain itself and it'll be all right You don't have to try so hard you don't have to hold on so tight Oh let the picture paint itself and it's only get better And when the day is through and it's just me and you Well we'll be feeling so good we'll be knocking on wood [ guitar ] If you think we'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 pain itself... [ guitar - steel ]
