The Back of God Lyrics

On the back of good times there's a plague ready to rain on our parade

Then the clouds will clear and rainbows illuminate the skies

When the evening comes our company hums the tales of another day

Our stories drip down through the grit of that endless line

Ooh, da-do-do-do

Ooh, da-do-do-do

Ya-ooh, da-do-do-do-ayy

Ya-ooh, dwee-de-de-do

On the back of that page there's an old memory coming to take my life

Well I live right now, can't turn back, I'm not ready to say goodbye

On the frontier plain there's a blood-red stain on the rocks across the roadside

As I pass by all I can do is hold my head and cry

Ooh, da-do-do-do

Ooh, da-do-do-do

Ya-ooh, da-do-do-do-ayy

Ya-ooh, dwee-de-de-do

On the back of her arm there's a farmer's fist holding a lemon up to the light

She don't see it much, but the knowledge that it's there gives her strength

On the front of her arm are the words of her dad saying everything's alright

Ooh, to all of you I give gratitude and thanks

The back of God is just as good as the front

Along the way we gotta stop for lunch

I'll take my time and hear the leaves crunch

The back of God is just as good as the front

In the end I don't know too much

I've made mistakes, I've had some bad luck

The back of God is just as good as the front

Along the way we gotta stop for lunch

I'll take my time and hear the leaves crunch

The back of God is just as good as the front

In the end I don't know too much

I've made mistakes, I've had some bad luck

The back of God is just as good as the front

This love fills my cup

Everything'll be fine, I've got good hunch

The back of God is just as good as the front

Everything'll be fine, I've got good hunch

The back of God is just as good as the front
