EMILY HURD: SONGS

Make A Bed

(Emily Hurd, John Abbey, Gerald Dowd, Gregg Ostrom, Scott Ligon)
Written By Emily Hurd
Pretty roads and doorways make me question what I’ve done,
Fill my mind with worries about the things I made “the one.”
But I could waste my living days by thinking bout my life,
So I’m gonna choose to make a bed, and believe I made it right.
I’m gonna choose to make a bed and be happy there tonight.

I could commit to leaving when a good love comes my way,
Love everybody evenly to keep my old heart safe.
But I could hole away in my soul each day til the end of time.
So I’m gonna choose to make a bed, and believe I made it right.
I’m gonna choose to make a bed, and be glad he’s by my side.

I could drive through borders just to try to see it all.
But I could find the farthest corners just to wind up at a wall.
And I could chase them sunny rays and never see the light.
So I’m gonna choose to make a bed, and believe I made it right.
I’m gonna choose to make a bed, and give thanks for this ride.

I could always wonder; I could always second guess
If the stars I’m under are the ones that suit me best.
Well if my needs and my deeds never coincide,
I’m gonna choose to make a bed, and believe I made it right.

I’m gonna choose to make a bed, so I got somewhere to lie.
