Lyrics
'What It Is' I don't wanna tell you what it is about you I don't wanna tell you what it ain't I could go on livin' my whole life without you I could turn away but it's too late What it is, is livin' day to day and hand to mouth What it is, is strugglin' like a dog What it ain't is knowin' you will always be without What it ain't is knockin' right to wrong Time ain't on our side So put away your gemstone pride Yah hurt the ones you push aside And never see the turnin' tide I don't wanna show you how it is beyond you I would never hurt you but I will I could never lay my broken dreams upon you I don't feel the need to get my fill What it is, is livin' day to day and hand to mouth What it is, is strugglin' like a dog What it ain't is knowin' you will always be without What it ain't is knockin' right to wrong Time ain't on our side So put away your gemstone pride Yah hurt the ones you push aside And never see the turnin' tide What it is, is livin' day to day and hand to mouth What it is, is strugglin' like a dog What it ain't is knowin' you will always be without What it ain't is knockin' right to wrong What it is, is livin' day to day and hand to mouth What it is, is strugglin' like a dog What it ain't is knowin' you will always be without What it ain't is knockin' right to wrong © Maria Daines/Paul Killington 2007

Loved this tune from the get go. It flows so well and the arrangement fits like a glove. I love the Tom Petty touch at times and the vox have the coolest country blues feel. Great lyrics. I have no idea how you can write and record so many killer tunes. i think maybe it's spelled t-a-l-e-n-t. 5 easy stars!
