Sure As I'm Sittin' Here
written by John Hiatt

Get up; ya get down
Get lost and then ya get found
Sure as I’m sittin’ here
Sure as I’m sittin’ here

Ya get a laugh; ya get a cry
Get ’em all before you die
Sure as I’m sittin’ here
Sure as I’m sittin’ here

Come on sit down, get down
Come-a-come-a sit down, get down
Sure as I’m sittin’ here
Sure as I’m sittin’ here

All the ladies hypnotize you
And all your friends, well they just patronize you
Don’t God look forgot
Cause he just sittin’ here
I think it’s god’s sick plan but it’s not so clear

Lord you get the truth; you get lies
Get ’em all before you die
Sure as I’m sittin’ here
Sure as I’m sittin’ here

You get the light; you get the dark
Fall in love and I break your heart
Sure as I’m sittin’ here
Sure as I’m sittin’ here

Come on sit down, get down
Come-a-come-a sit down, get down
Sure as I’m sittin’ here
Sure as I’m sittin’ here

Now it might seem confusing
With all you get, well look what all your loosing
But it’s just life and it just goes on
So quit with your complaining soon enough you will be gone

Lord, Lord, Lord

Sure as I’m sittin’ here
Sure as I’m sittin’ here
