lyrics

if i could grow everything you need
to help you sleep, to keep you breathing
i'd be kneeling in the dirt trying to make it work
i'd be reading every word trying to make it work out
i'd bring the water and i'd bring the light
i would roll up my sleeves, watch it grow alright
i'd bring the water and i'd bring the light
i would roll up my sleeves, watch it grow alright

but luck follows me, luck follows me
gotta roll up my sleeves, roll up my sleeves
'cause i've got a little dirt, got to make it work for me

so i'll bring the water, i'll bring the light
going to roll up my sleeves, watch it grow alright
i'll bring the water and i'll bring the light
going to roll up my sleeves, watch it grow alright

travel the world she said, you can live by the sea
travel the world she said, but you've got to roll up your sleeves

'cause luck follows me, luck follows me
luck follows me, luck follows me
got to roll up my sleeves, roll up my sleeves
'cause i've got a little dirt, got to make it work for me
i'm going to harness that hurt, make it work for me
i'm going to harness that hurt, make it work for me
i'm going to harness that hurt, make it work for me
i'm going to harness your hurt, make it work for me

i'll be your water, i'll be your light
i'm going to roll up my sleeves, it will all be alright

'cause i can grow everything you need
to help you sleep, to keep you breathing
i'll be kneeling in the dirt trying to make it work
i'll be reading every word trying to make it work
trying to make it work
