Shine On

by Bonepony

on HA! (2017), Traveler's Companion (1999)

Early in the morning, drinking coffee in the kitchen
Dogs yapping at me from the back porch
Yes, it's got my attention

So I look out the window, see the sun rising up before the trees
It's like a sentimental postcard and it makes me wanna sing

My oh my, feel so fine
Front teeth shine like a brand new dime
Gotta move along with a beat so strong
And it can't be wrong, everybody Shine On

Room full of kinfolk, paper plates in their hands
A bunch of runnin' round women, just tryin' to do for their man
Yard full of grandkids, playin' just outside
And this one gray haired woman, heart swelled big with pride

My oh my, feel so fine
Front teeth shine like a brand new dime
Gotta move along with a beat so strong
And it can't be wrong, everybody Shine On

You could be perfect starlight
I could be a warm blue moonbeam at night
Smiles

And if the well runs dry
And you find it hard to cry
Don't let it pass you by
Oh, Shine On

A little later in the evening
As the sun goes down
We'll get together on the back porch
And pass the jug around

Maybe do a little pickin'
Get stompin on the floor
Rockin chair starts squeaking
Crys out for more

My oh my, feel so fine
Front teeth shine like a brand new dime
Gotta move along with a beat so strong
And it can't be wrong, everybody Shine On
