Jim Lauderdale Life By Numbers written by Jim Lauderdale Jim Lauderdale vocals/guitar Tommy Spurlock steel guitar Kenny Vaughn guitar Greg Wetzel piano Bob Mummert drums Garry Tallent bass http://jimlauderdale.com/ A G I met you in the middle of a hurricane A Our feet were barely touching on the ground A G You taught me how to rise above the unexplained A The least of which was more than profound A G I told you baby listen they can't trade your place A With anybody for the one inside A G There's something that connects us more than anything A It all adds up to signify A G A Life by numbers you and me A G A Keep your thunder right where my lightning's gonna be A G I always wondered how far was infinity A And now I see it flash through your eyes A G I heard a little voice that said we're almost free A But that should come as no big surprise A Life by nunbers won't lie down A G A Keep your thunder right but don't trade it for the easy way out Bm A Oh your name puts some rhythmn to the game Bm A Keeps on humming through the house Bm A Love when fair makes it more than OK Bm C#m I'd like to explain but here comes the solo SOLO A G They'll ask you to play "She Thinks I Still Care" A It's time to bring the singer on down G They'll try to tell you to listen once you been back there A You better learn to get yourself out A G A Life by numbers you and me A G A Keep your thunder right where my lightning's gonna be A G A Life by numbers you and me A G A Keep your thunder right where my lightning's gonna be From Jim Lauderdale "Persimmons" Upstart Records 1996 Mighty Nice Music/Laudersongs(BMI)
