I have been the man: the seventh son I have been the fool: goofy and fun I have been the rain: tears streaming down I have been the jest: from a small town I have been the coil: twisted and turned I have been the bars: street-wise learned I have been the bird: currents to glide I have been the briar: filled with pride I have been the hero: but not too many I have been the king: grandiose dreams Woulda, coulda, shoulda I survived the lance: outrun them all I survived the tempt: some I did fall I survived the battle: I have the scars I survived the lights: I was a film star I survived the growl: my throat is raw I survived the ardor: her low-cut bra I survived the crash: just inward hurts I survived the crave: swishing skirts I survived the years: without a key I survived the child: that would be me It was a hell of a ride ~ If they give you ruled paper, write sideways. ~ |

Introspectively reflective writing, Jerry. A thought can't be bought in solitude. ...just bein' Bluesy |

Yeah, you're right Bluesy. Solitude usually brings self incrimination's. ~ If they give you ruled paper, write sideways. ~ |
