AIN'T THAT FINE
Sara Watkins, Sarah Jarosz, Aoife O'Donovan
Drivin' 'round
You're pointing out the faded places out from your past
Fill up the tank
And I don't question all the bad times that you've had
All the bad times that you've had
You've got a story, a dotted line
You have your sins, and I've got mine
It's nothing special, ain't that fine
Ain't that fine
I've got a story, a dotted line
Where it begins, the when and why
It's nothing special, ain't that fine
Ain't that fine
I've been around
There were years when I was breaking every rule
But I'm coming down
I can't believe the things I put my mother through
But it's alright
I guess we all deserve our turn to be a fool
I took my turn and so did you
. . .
When Friday night
Finally comes I'll leave my troubles at the door
And all our friends
They pile in, we sit for supper on the floor
Why would I ever ask for more
Some folks have it better
But oh we've got it good
. . .
