Cover art for Wiser Time lyrics by Black Crowes, The

--No time left now for shame (we're on the road, moving forward and can't worry about past regrets)

--Horizon behind me no more pain (we've covered some ground and those problems are far in the rear view)

--Windswept stars blink and smile (we're really out there now, miles from where we started, sometimes the stars are all we see in the sky driving at night reminding us to push on, we are free,.. other times we run into really grand people in the world, windswept people, sometimes famous and rich rock stars and movies stars that schmooze with us at Hollywood parties we've been to now that we are successful)

--Another song, another mile (Each moment from place to place, hour to hour, person to person, and all things along the way)

--You read the line every time ("you" at home, read whatever makes it back and perhaps wonder what's going on)

--You ask me about crime in my mind (you wonder how we could live so free when everyone else punches the clock)

--You ask me why another roadsong (you wonder why we continue to live our own way)

--Funny, but I'll bet you never left home (alot of your questions about us are answered when you take the journey)

--On a good day, well I know it ain't everyday --We can part the sea --On a bad day, well I know its not everyday --Glory beyond our reach (we live, we go for it, and when it's on we can accomplish magic in life, romance, coming and going places doing amazing things, and as long as we keep that sentiment alive, our bad days will be greater than most others best)

--Fourteen seconds till sunrise --Tired, but wiser for the time (we've been so drivin to get where we are and we are road worn but so much fuller and better off for it because the world we're in never stops spinning)

--Lightening thirty miles away --Three thousand more in two days (we see flashes of electricity and feel the sensation that awaits us ahead, and crowds of people energized with more where they came from too)

--On a good day, well I know it ain't everyday --We can part the sea --On a bad day, well I know its not everyday --Glory beyond our reach

--On a good day, well I know it ain't everyday --We can part the sea --On a bad day, well I know its not everyday --Glory beyond our reach

I hope this was worth your time to read, as I am a southern rocker who made the trip to California with my brother, my guitar, and my dreams. But as a kid from the south the 1st show I ever went to was the Black Crowes opening for Robert Plant and I'v been a BC fan ever since! I believe this song has alot of double meanings, things everyday people can relate to, somethings that are exactly like life on the road literally, and other clever metaphors about the things they as a successfull rock group experienced with people, artists, lovers, and friends.
