Lyrics
Sweet Destiny
Music & Lyrics: Todd Thibaud
There's a couple out walking, they're speaking in sign
It's a good conversation, I think she's changing her mind
There's a whole lot of people, at the end of my block
Just sitting in doorways, nobody's punching a clock
Don't know much about fate
It always seemed to me
That I'd just sit here waiting on my destiny, sweet destiny
They're telling their stories, on the six o'clock news
It's the same old reporters; nobody's changing their views
But, somewhere down south now, looks like it's starting to blow
It's a hurricane warning, baby we gotta go now go
Chorus
Well they're cleaning up Main Street, some lines have come down
The sirens are blasting, on the outskirts of town
And I'm picking up branches, in the back of my yard
Just over the border, they say it's still coming down hard
Don't know much about fate
It always seemed to me
That I'd just sit here waiting on my destiny
Thought it would come to me
Sweet Destiny, baby comes to me
