It`ll Shine When It Shines — текст песни (The Ozark Mountain Daredevils)

(GUITAR INTRO)

the old cat on the roof

he could stand a little push

`cause he`s got nine good lives to live

but like my momma said

you only live till you`re dead

and you got to give and give and give



there`s a pebble in the pond

goin` on and on,

makin` waves and tides and ripples and rings

there`s a leaf in the wind

that don`t know where to end

chasin` days and ways and wishes and dreams



seems like ev`ry one

is out lookin` for the sun

singin` rain and pain on he who hesitates

but it`ll shine when it shines

you might think I`m wastin` time

but I`m just a good old boy that`s learned to wait



whippoorwill`s in the dawn

pretty soon, he`ll be gone

and he`s got one good song to sing

but like my daddy said,

it`s in your heart, not your head

and you got to sing and sing and sing



there`s a window in the wall

lookin` out on it all

leavin` fears and tears and troubles alone

there`s a fire in the stove

keepin` out the cold,

warmin` wine and winters and babies and homes



seems like ev`ry one

is out lookin` for the sun

singin` rain and pain on he who hesitates

but it`ll shine when it shines

you might think I`m wastin` time

but I`m just a good old boy that`s learned to wait



yes, I`m just a good old boy that`s learned to wait
