lyrics

some folks lives roll easy as a breeze drifting through a summer night
heading for a sunny day
but most folks lives... they stumble
lord, they fall
through no fault of their own, most folks never catch their stars

here I am lord, I'm knocking at your place of business
I know I ain't got no business here
but you said if I ever got so low I was busted
you could be trusted

some folks lives roll easy
some folks lives never roll at all
lord they just fall
they just fall

some folks lives

A fantastic album. I can see why they didn't continue under the name The Evens, as it's a different sound with the bass added. Coriky is the Evens + Joe Lally from Fugazi on bass. If you can imagine The Evens with a slightly more funky, aggressive sound like Fugazi... that's what you get! And there's no way that can ever go wrong. What a great debut album!! smiledozer
