Formed in the summer of 1981 by high school friends Dan Murphy, Karl Mueller, and Dave Pirner, Soul Asylum (named Loud Fast Rules up until 1984) quickly became frontrunners of American college rock, following in the tradition of fellow Minnesota bands Hsker Dand The Replacements. Landing their first record deal with Twin/Tone in 1984, Soul Asylum recorded a total of four albums for the local label: Say What You Will... Everything Can Happen in 1984 (later reissued as Say What You Will, Clarence... Karl Sold the Truck), Made to Be Brokenin 1986, While You Were Outin 1986, and the EP Clam Dip And Other Delightsin 1988. The band then switched to A&M, releasing Hang Timein 1988 and And the Horse They Rode in Onin 1990 under that label.

Grounded Lyrics

Soul Asylum

When (aid? ) turned sideways
(and? itd? ) head on down the highway
Say this is my way
Disappearing forever
But there aint just one way
So you choose the fun way
Slide down the (runway? )
On a ticket that goes two ways
And by the way that it sounded
You thought that youd be astounded
But you left it like you found it
Cause it wasnt yours to take
What once seemed like dying
Soon turned into flying
So you settle for trying
And you wish you were grounded
No you cannot get much higher
Than your utmost desire
So you bring it down to size and
Now it seems that you are grounded
By the way that it sounded
You thought that youd be astounded
But you left it like you found it
Now you find that you are grounded
