Some Folks' World

Some Folks' World - Mark Heard

Some folks' world is war torn

Some folks' world is fine

This planet makes no sense

The untrained mind

Some folks hope for fortune

Some folks hope to die

Each man sees his fate

Through his own two eyes

And when it's day to me

It's night to someone

And when it's night

You might not want to go on

Some folks eat what flies leave

They get what they can take

Hunger has no heart and it will not wait

Rain can ruin your weekend

Or rain can spare your life

Depending on who you are and what your thirst is like

And when it's day to me it's night to someone

And when it's night you might not want to go on

All folks' days are numbered

But most folks do not care

And no man calls his coin when it's in the air

Some folks taste of Heaven

Some folks taste of Hell

Some folks lose their taste and they cannot tell

And when it's day to me it's night to someone

And when it's night you might not want to go on

Go on

Go on
