Anybody Know These Lyrics?

I've searched the web and cant find this song or the artist who recorded it...I've only heard it once (on the great public radio station in Salt Lake City in the early 1980s)...I find myself singing these lyrics occassionally and would like to find the song and learn to sing and play it...Any help is greatly appreciated!

"...The hard times don't hurt like they used to, they pass quicker like when I was a child..."

"...Somehow I learned how to listen to a sound like the sun going down and the ....that morning was bringing...she keeps my feet on the ground..."

"Song for the Life" by Rodney Crowell / Alan Jackson / Kathy Mattea / Waylon Jennings / others


I don't drink as much as I used to
Lately it just ain't my style
And the hard times don't hurt like they used to
They pass quicker like when I was a child
Somehow I learned how to listen
To a sound like the sun goin' down
In the magic that morning is bringin'
There's a song for the life I have found
It keeps my feet on the ground
The midsummer days ain't so heavy
They just flow like the breeze through your mind
And nothing appears in a hurry
To make up for some old lost time
Somehow I learned how to listen
To a sound like the sun goin' down
In the magic that morning is bringin'
There's a song for the life I have found
It keeps my feet on the ground
Somehow I learned how to listen
To a sound like the sun goin' down
In the magic that morning is bringin'
There's a song for the life I have found
It keeps my feet on the ground
