lyrics

Just Around the Corner
Vic Riden & Owen Plant

Life’s real good just around the corner
Gotta hold on (a) little bit longer
She’s waiting there for only me to hold her
Feel her head tucked on my shoulder
Sun’s gonna be a little bit warmer
My cider and cash, harder and colder
Hand in hand together growing older
Life’s damn good just around the corner

When I was a young man I was never wrong
If I said it was true or sang it in a song
Couldn’t bear a counter whether short or long
I been pulled from that smelter red hot in the tongs
So I’ll chop the wood and carry the water
Fix the fence, fire up the solder
Be kind yet firm with our sons and our daughters
Life’s real good just around the corner

Life’s real good just around the corner
Gotta hold on a little bit longer
She’s waiting there for only me to hold her
Feel her head tucked on my shoulder
Sun’s gonna be a little bit warmer
My cider and cash, harder and colder
I’m winning both, the over and the under
Life’s damn good just around the corner

Wise is as wise does but I’m sometimes confused
Between hard determination (and) what amounts to a short fuse
I just found out I been paying the wrong kind of dues
For how long, I can’t be sure, but I know I stand to loose
Tír na nÓg is what they say in the bogs
When they’re chopping peat and every day is a slog
But a better day is always just around the corner
Gotta hold on a little bit longer!

Life’s real good just around the corner
Gotta hold on a little bit longer
She’s waiting there for only me to hold her
Feel her head tucked on my shoulder
Sun’s gonna be a little bit warmer
My cider and cash, harder and colder
I’m winning both, the over and the under
Life’s damn good just around the corner

I know my clock is already reading half past
And noone on this earth can forever last
But I can wait a little bit longer if you ask
My nose to the grindstone and a fire under my ass!
If you don’t believe in that great reward
Well that’s more for me and less for yourn
Just two more feet pushing this boulder
Life’s real good just around the corner

Life’s real good just around the corner
Gotta hold on a little bit longer
She’s waiting there for only me to hold her
Feel her head tucked on my shoulder
Sun’s gonna be a little bit warmer
My cider and cash, harder and colder
Hand in hand together growing older
Life’s damn good just around the corner

Owen Plant & Brother Vic Saint Simons Island, Georgia

Jamaican-Born, Singer/Songwriter/Performer Owen Plant's style is reminiscent of artists from the '70s, old-time reggae groups and contemporary acoustic artists. His laid back, soothing and delicately honed vocals and songwriting are the center pieces of his sound.

His forthcoming LP, “I Was on the Moon” is his most ambitious in scope. It is slated for release early summer 2016. ... more
