Harper, Ben - Ground On Down Lyrics






I believe in a few things
God the devil and love
cause I've looked up from the bottom
and I've stared down from above

I have faith in a few things
divinity and grace
but even when I'm on my knees
I know the devil prays

and you're working your way
from the ground on down

I hate to say I love you
because it means that I
will be with you forever
or will sadly say goodbye

I love to say I hate you
because it means that I
will live my life happily without you
or will sadly live a lie

and you're working your way
from the ground on down

life is short
and if your lookin' for extension
with your time
you had best do well

cause there's good deeds
and there is good intention
they're as far apart
as heaven and hell

and you're working your way
from the ground on down

  75. M.... C....

    Great song!

  76. r.... h....

    Kravitz wishes

  79. d.... ....

    Everything Ben Harper does is pure gold, but I have always wished he would experiment with more stuff like this. It's so good.

  80. T.... F....

    the opposite maybe

  81. I.... K....

    This much boogie in 1 song ?
    Must be illegal somewhere . . .

  82. I.... K....

  87. A.... B....

    yeah, "One of these Days" begs to differ

  88. C.... R....

    really? a 30 second bing ad, almost not even worth it

  89. i.... ....

    its not a guitar you idiot, its a dulcimer and if you think its easier to play than guitar, then you are lost

  90. B.... ....
