Early in the morning, sometimes late at night

Sometimes I get the feeling that everything's alright

Early in the evening, sometimes in the day

Sometimes I get the feeling everything's okay

Because everything cuts against the tide

When you're by my side

Name me a song that everybody knows

And 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
