"Crooked Piece Of Time" lyrics - TODD SNIDER

It's a crooked piece of time that we live in
All in all and all in all it's a crooked piece of time
It's a crooked piece of time that we're livin' in, oh baby
All in all and all in all, it's a crooked piece of time

Things got rough, things got tough, things got harder than hard
We were just tryin' to make a livin' in our own back yard
We're born too late, we die too soon, anxiety's a terrible crime
If you can't come now, don't come at all, it's a crooked piece of time

It's a crooked piece of time that we live in
All in all and all in all, it's a crooked piece of time
It's a crooked piece of time that we live in
All in all and all in all, it's a crooked piece of time

Yesterday morning an ill wind came
Blew your picture right out of the picture frame
Even blew the candle out from underneath the flame
Yesterday morning an ill wind came

It's a crooked piece of time that we live in
All in all and all in all, it's a crooked piece of time
It's a crooked piece of time that we live in
All in all and all in all, it's a crooked piece of time

It's a crooked piece of time that we live in
All in all and all in all

Things got rough, things got tough, things got harder than hard
We was just tryin' to make a livin' in our back yard
