about

Song about shaking off the rough and tumble worries of the world and believing there are better days ahead.

lyrics

I heard some trouble came your way
just flew on in the other day
It shook you up, knocked you flat
left you hurting quick as that

I’m no doctor, I’m just a friend
who’s had his share of old dead ends
I’m no preacher, but here’s what I know
You take it easy, take it slow

When tales of sorrow chase you down
leave you lyin’ on lower ground
Don’t you listen (don’t you listen) to that sound
there’s a sweet song comin’ round

I’m no doctor, I’m just a friend
who’s had a share of old dead ends
I’m no preacher, but here’s what I know
You take it easy, take it slow

When tales of sorrow chase you down
leave you lyin’ on lower ground
Don’t you listen (don’t you listen) to that sound
there’s a sweet song comin’ round

Jeni Hankins London, UK

Jeni Hankins grew up in the coalfields of Appalachian in Southwest Virginia among a family of miners, moonshiners, and journalists. Her writing pulls the grit, gumption, and keen sense of observation out of that heritage like drawing water from her grandmother’s well.

In every song, Jeni’s “true sense of place shines through – old as the hills, but brand new at the same time.”
