If You Live Like That - Lyrics by Indigo Girls


Lyrics
"
If You Live Like That" is one of the few songs ever co-written by
Amy AND Emily. It appears on "
Blue Food." I thought it kinda fitsin with the Dylan stuff I've been posting, 'cause the chorus isbasically them listing his album titles...
If You Live Like That.
You say you want to live for today
Before today is lost
But when the returns come in
Do they balance the cost?I can see your four wheels spin
I can smell smoke from the blaze
But we aren't moving anyway
If you're seeing past rose colored shades.
Chorus:
If you live like that
Don't look back'
Cause it's cold
And it's mighty
It may turn your back
Blood on the tracks, baby
Blood on the tracks
Blood on the tracks, baby
I said, don't look back.I see it all around
People want it good and want it fast
As long as it moves you for the moment
It doesn't matter if it lasts
But our love is sweet
It can drive me to my knees
But we still got troubles, you and I
Seeing the forest for the trees.
Chorus.I've had enough of these two lives
You say you'll give to me
I've had enough of your freedom
You know I want to feel free
I've had enough gospel
I could spin my head around
I said, if you're so caught up in heaven
You don't even see the ground.
Chorus.
All we need is to take time (slow down, new way)
See tomorrow in plain sight (new dawn, new day)
New horizon in plain view
And we're hauling up the engine
To put you straight on through.
Chorus.
Blood on the tracks, baby
Blood on the tracks
Blood on the tracks, baby
I said, don't look back
Blood on the tracks, baby
Blood on the tracks
Blood on the tracks, baby
I said, don't look back
Don't look back
If you live like that.
