You Should Be Glad

You should be glad

You should be happy to be alive

You should be glad

You should be happy

My blood runs through your veinsAnother stormy night up in Memphis

A band of black clouds rides overhead

Slept seven days and nights on an old greyhound dog

Came limping in to Union StationNow that I have had my fun

It's good to be back again

We finally found the place in time

To call our ownShe is uncontrollable

Let her cry, let her cry, let her cry

She is inconsolable

Let her cry, let her cry, let her cry

We don't have to do this

We just walk away from hereYou should be glad

You should be happy to be alive

You should be glad

You should be happy

That the day is newI was dreaming we were floating down the Natchez Trace

Our angels were falling in

I saw the outline of a spirit sliding cross the river

Laughing at cracks about the devil's backboneWalking in the haze, Sunday's Independence Day

Another good excuse for a celebration

We sang songs of liberty

Kind of takes the sting out of occupationNow that I have had my fun

It's good to be back again

We finally found the time and place

To call our ownShe is uncontrollable

Let her cry, let her cry, let her cry

She is inconsolable

Let her cry, let her cry, let her cry

But you don't have to do this

Just walk away from hereShe is uncontrollable

Let her cry, let her cry, let her cry

She is inconsolable

Let her cry, let her cry, let her cryYou should be glad

(You should be happy)

You should be glad

(You should be happy)You should be glad

(You should be happy)

You should be glad

(You should be happy)
