lyrics

Sometimes it's one foot in front of the other, and one day at a time
Sometimes feels like forever, and sometimes nothing rhymes
Always is never sometimes, but sometimes you get it right
So always drink old, good wine, and burn till you’re out of time

Yesterday we were young and hungry
Went and sold ourselves a lie
So we packed up all our junk in a van
And swore we’d never die

Now we have good jobs and bought a house
And sold those old guitars
And our cars shine like those old stale dreams
We swore we’d never buy

Sometimes it's one foot in front of the other, and one day at a time
Sometimes feels like forever, and sometimes nothing rhymes
Always is never sometimes, but sometimes you get it right
So always drink old, good wine, and burn till you’re out of time

When this TV show is over
Let’s head on up the stairs
To replay the same old tired scene
That getting us nowhere

But hey, tomorrow let’s map out a plan
And reclaim all we are
We’ll wave goodbye to all we have
That’s killing who we are

Sometimes it's one foot in front of the other, and one day at a time
Sometimes feels like forever, and sometimes nothing rhymes
Always is never sometimes, but sometimes you get it right
So always drink old, good wine, and burn till you’re out of time

Jonathan Smith of Americana UK called Baker an "American wordsmith" and an artist whose "highly literate lyrics" are "wrapped in music whose primary purpose is to serve the words." Baker's songs are the kind that get deeper with each and every listen. ... more
