about

Written in Philly. Dedicated to my wife, and to anyone else who's ever fought for their lives in the courts there.

lyrics

Don’t wait til you hit your stride, don’t let your pride stand in your way
Do what you got to do to get on up and start your day
This world ain’t a perfect place, it’s full of things that don’t make sense
But until they make a better one, we’ll just have to do the best we can
Until they make a better one, we’ll just have to do the best we can

You been carrying that rugged cross around with you
wherever you may go
But it ain’t yours to carry, I wanna hear you singin' sweet and low
This world ain’t a perfect place, it’s full of shit that don’t make sense
But until they make a better one, we’ll just have to do the best we can

Don’t torture yourself with what could be and would be
Be more for yourself now than anyone should be
Look to your health when the shit hits the fan
Whether it’s part of some larger plan or not,
Don't worry about a thing, just be glad for what you got

This world ain’t a perfect place, it’s full of things that don’t make sense
But until they make a better one, you’ll just have to do the best we can
But until they make a better one, we’ll just have to do the best we can
But until we make a better one, we’ll just have to do the best we can

All of this is on display on his solo debut, "Give it Time"(Yates plays every instrument on the album), and the result is ones that fans and new listeners alike will cherish. ... more
