Story behind the song
Actually it was hearing about Maurice Claret, the football player who tried to go pro after one year of college. About how he ended up being arrested wearing a bulletproof vest, with four guns and a hatchet in his car. Funny how the muse works sometimes.
Lyrics
Every one I know has seen hard times, Every where I go I hear sad songs, Every time I turn around, there's a dark cloud, followin' me back home. Every one I see has sad eyes as if they never learned to smile they live their lives every day in a world that's done them wrong On the other side of the street, there's sunshine and bright blue skies On the other side of the street, a blue bird sings his song. God knows I've tried to get there never could find the way Tried so many times but it's useless so they say On the other side of the street, there's sunshine and bright blue skies On the other side of the street, a blue bird sings his song. Every one I know has seen hard times, Every where I go I hear sad songs, Every time I turn around, there's this dark cloud, followin' me back home.
