You may not sense the time has come
you may not see the ruler fall
so when it smacks you on the thumb
that's just another wake up call

You think it's just your rotten luck
these things just catch you unaware
your life that throws you 'neath the truck
will run you down with some to spare

Ain't that the way your story goes
You sing the words I'll make 'em rhyme
'cuz brother when it comes to woes
our game's in triple overtime

I guess you'd say we got the blues
that ol' dark cloud blots out the sun
can't seem to find them dancin' shoes
no matter how the record's spun

We come up loosin' every time
you oughta know darn well by now
we're USDA friggin' prime
ripe for the slaughter, yet somehow

we find the strength to face the day
and play it out the way we choose
'cuz brother like the Gospel say
everybody get the blues.

Serenity,
Mud up, dear girl. Thanks so much. Did you get the " Dervishing " repost ?
Doc

Gentle Spirit,
Thank you. I was listening to a Kenny Wayne Shepard song the other night and it kinda put me in the mood to maybe add a few verses.
Sure hope he don't mind too much.
Doc
