That Lucky Old Sun (Live at Merriweather Post Pavilion, Columbia, MD, September 1, 1989) lyrics
by Jerry Garcia Band
[Verse 1]
Up in the morning, out on the job
Work like the devil for my pay
But that lucky old sun got nothing to do
But roll, roll around heaven all day
[Verse 2]
Fuss with my woman, toil with my kids
Work 'til I'm wrinkled and gray
But that lucky old sun got nothing to do
But roll, roll around heaven all day
[Bridge]
Lord above, can't you hear me pining?
Tears all in my eyes
Send down that cloud with a silver lining
Lift me up to paradise
[Verse 3]
Show me that river, take me across
Wash all my troubles away
Like that lucky old sun, give me nothing to do
But roll, roll around heaven all day
[Instrumental Break]
[Outro]
Show me that river, take me across
Wash all my troubles away
Like that lucky old sun, give me nothing to do
But roll, roll around heaven
Roll around heaven (I just wanna roll)
Roll around heaven all day
