Mojave
J.J. Johnson & Kai Winding Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Don't cry
We're gonna make it through the night
We're guided by the shine of the moonlight
The tires are flat, morale is low
I've run out of places to go
But I keep my head up and try to grow

I take it one day at a time
Hope for the best, it's all I can do
Alright, woohoo
I take it one day at a time
Hope for the best, it's all I can do
I'll figure it out
But that's nothing new

The ground on which we sleep is not as stable as it seems
Lately I've been having nightmares
And all sorts of crazy dreams
But I'm alive at the end of the day
What more can I say
Oh yeah it's a good life
How could I ever complain
Here we go now




It's a good life
How could I ever complain
