The way I remembered It

I don’t know how to put this, so I’ll just come right out and say it, You only get one precious life—-that’s it.  There’s no replays or second chances. That’s the way this thing life is designed. The days drift by as do the weeks, months and years. We treat time as if it were limitless. Sorry, but time is a clock that can never be rewound

The most precious commodity we are gifted with is time. Why do we waste it by allowing petty annoyances to consume us. We treat people as if they are replaceable, treat our bodies as if they are refundable, surrender our souls as if they’ll always be redeemable. 

I guess we weren’t so special after all

Sitting Indian style in the park

Face to face

On a warm summer night

And the crickets sang

Dogs chased one another in circles

We talked and laughed about everything

About nothing

You talked to me, as if you secretly read my journal

Like you knew me forever

Is this how forever feels

Buried bones, memories of love

Is the way I remember it, the way it was

My Life Is Sadder Than A Country Song

Barstool has seen my better end

Cause my heads up my ass again

Don’t have no money, or a fancy car

Can’t afford IPA, I drink PBR

Bought a cellphone, but it never rings

Neighbor’s dog howls every time I sing

I’ve never been asked to dance

Girls never gave me a second glance

Dog died, mama’s in jail

Train I’m riding is headed straight to hell

Lost my job, my girlfriends gone

My life’s sadder than a country song. 

Lost my favorite NASCAR cap

Got drunk, ran the tractor over my cat

Skynyrd playing on the record player

Confederate flag, flies over my trailer

I’m a Christian-Republican-redneck

Put the-three together, Trump is what ya get

Said he’d make America great

With his war, prejudice, and hate

Dog died, mama’s in jail

Trump train headed straight to hell

Lost my job, my girlfriends gone

My life’s sadder than a country song.
