lyrics

Time and time again I find myself wondering why
Try so damn hard; I’m barely getting by
Just give up man...
Life sucks then you die
Scratch that, show you rancher really can fly
Straight shot, this is how the story ends
Did my best, made some music with my friends
Playing shows I’m on the road again
These words are life, man, I never had to pretend
I’m not a rockstar, don’t even wanna be
Just found a way to make a living off this poetry
If I didn’t write id be a lost soul in therapy
Mouth full of pills,
“Please doc make a better me”
I don’t wanna be anybody else
I found peace at last
PIcking up the pieces of myself
On a twisted trail, found myself home
A fire inside wherever I go.

Sad eyes
Did you just smile?
Did you finally learn that life ain’t so bad?

Mr Sad eyes
Did you just smile?
Did you finally learn that life ain’t so bad?

I been riding on the edge of a dream
Don’t really know where I’ve been or what I’ve seen
But I step on stage, I’m gonna light it up
Tonight could be the night
Kiss kiss for luck
Like dragging a magnet through the silver lining
Gonna charge it up
Then i’ll strike like lightning
Bottle it up, go on, tell your friends
Come out to the show
He’ll do it again
But it passed me by like life passed me by
Another chance another shooting star lost in the night sky
golden needle in a stack of needles about a mile high
Same old story
About a simple small town guy
Working the land, doing what I can to pay the bills
Fixing up grandpas old house in the hills
Harvest moon without a way to save
A day at a time with a smile on my face.

Sad eyes
Did you just smile?
Did you finally learn that life ain’t so bad?

Mr Sad eyes
Did you just smile?
Did you finally learn that life ain’t so bad?
