Early in the morning, sometimes late at night
Sometimes I get the feeling that every thing's alright

Early in the evening, sometimes in the day

Sometimes I get the feeling every thing's okay

Because everything cuts against the tide when you're by my side

Name me a song that everybody knows

I'll bet you it belongs to Acuff-Rose

Children in the playground, the folks in the home

Anybody anywhere who's ever been alone

Because everything cuts against the tide when I hear that sound
