You Should Be Glad - Widespread Panic

You should be glad
You should be happy to be alive
You should be glad
You should be happy
My blood runs through your veins

Another stormy night up in Memphis
A band of black clouds rides overhead
Slept seven days and nights on an old greyhound dog
Came limping in to Union Station

Now that I have had my fun
It's good to be back again
We finally found the place in time
To call our own

She is uncontrollable
Let her cry, let her cry, let her cry
She is inconsolable
Let her cry, let her cry, let her cry
We don't have to do this
We just walk away from here

You should be glad
You should be happy to be alive
You should be glad
You should be happy
That the day is new

I was dreaming we were floating down the Natchez Trace
Our angels were falling in
I saw the outline of a spirit sliding cross the river
Laughing at cracks about the devil's backbone

Walking in the haze, Sunday's Independence Day
Another good excuse for a celebration
We sang songs of liberty
Kind of takes the sting out of occupation

Now that I have had my fun
It's good to be back again
We finally found the time and place
To call our own

She is uncontrollable
Let her cry, let her cry, let her cry
She is inconsolable
Let her cry, let her cry, let her cry
But you don't have to do this
Just walk away from here

She is uncontrollable
Let her cry, let her cry, let her cry
She is inconsolable
Let her cry, let her cry, let her cry

You should be glad
(You should be happy)
You should be glad
(You should be happy)

You should be glad
(You should be happy)
You should be glad
(You should be happy)
