Some summers in the evening

after six or so

I walk on down the hill

and maybe buy a beer

I think about my friends

sometimes I wish

they lived out here

but they wouldn't

dig this town

no they wouldn't

dig this town



CHORUS

Try not to think about it

Alice Childress

Try not to think about it anymore

Try not to think about it

Alice Childress

anymore,

no not anymore

no



Alice the world

is full of ugly things

that you can't change

pretend it's not that way

that's my idea of faith

you can blow it off

and say there's good

in nearly everyone

just give them all a chance

give them all a chance



CHORUS



No it didn't work out

no it didn't work out

the way we thought it would

no it didn't work out

an arranged marriage

is not so good



Thank God it's you

you know your timing is

impeccable

I'm not fooling you

I don't know what to do

some dude just knocked me cold

and left me on the sidewalk

took everything I had

everything I had



try not to thing about it

Alice Childress

try not to think about it anymore

it's getting light where you are

Alice Childress

anymore, no not anymore

anymore, no not anymore
