I know our days are heaven sent lord knows I know not where they went

Artist- The Steeldrivers
Birthday Song of the day- Heaven Sent

Life and my mind have finally slowed just in time to celebrate the day of my birth the best way I know how, through song. Some of the best gifts I get are songs and the most recent my friend Kate gave me, which feels oh so appropriate on how I'm feeling about being older and only closer to more probable health problems (thanks for teaching me that nursing school!). Being almost a year older I realize I know even less than I thought about life, am more immature than I thought possible, but on the bright side still pass for an adolescent so can pull off this total cluelessness pretty well. So here's to another year older, perhaps smarter, perhaps wiser about not being wise, and just maybe more youthful than this old soul expected to be...but alas already too many gray hairs than this old soul expected to have.



I know our days are heaven sent
lord knows I know not where they went
shake my head and I wonder how
I'll ever get to heaven now


An angel came one winter dawn
you shoulda seen what she had on
wind was whistlin' like its rain
she left again just like she came


I know our days are heaven sent
lord knows I know not where they went
shake my head and I wonder how
I'll ever get to heaven now


I move around a lot these days
honky tonks and broad freeways
the same thing that I've always done
but I'm older now and I get tired some


I know our days are heaven sent
lord knows I know not where they went
shake my head and I wonder how
I'll ever get to heaven now


Those who think they hold the cards
I send out my kind regards
Those who love to those who care
I'll meet you down the road somewhere


I know our days are heaven sent
lord knows I know not where they went
shake my head and I wonder how
I'll ever get to heaven now


I know our days are heaven sent
lord knows I know not where they went
shake my head and I wonder how
I'll ever get to heaven now

I'll ever get to heaven now
