4/4 Time

Lyrics for 4/4 Time

Leanin' on a T-post, my eyes up on the sky When I'm meant to be splicing broken wire The meadowlark is singing her old familiar tune Her melody surpasses that of mine And how could I try now to sing a song When the good Lord's smallest creature Can croon it out so strong? And I shouldn't be comparing His handiwork with mine But I hope the Lord don't mind 4/4 time Later on that evening, just banging down the road Sun beds down to kiss the plains goodnight The air takes on a coolness, the west wind starts to blow It's pushing up the rain clouds into sight And how could I try now to tell a tale When the sky tells three each morning And evening without fail? And I shouldn't be comparing His handiwork with mine But I hope the Lord don't mind 4/4 time Yes, I hope the Lord don't mind 4/4 time
