On the Side of the Road (redux)

Verse I

I hitch to get to where I need.
I have no car you see.
Times are rough,
But I am tough,
Sometimes you gotta be.
I get good rides most of the time,
At others it's no go.
It's all good
Get what I should.
On the side of the road.


Chorus

On the side of the road,
On the side of the road,
You never know,
How it wiill go,
On the side of the road.


Verse II

There's money lost and money found,
A crapshoot at the best.
Take the things,
Good fortune brings,
And disregard the rest.
I've found the thing to do is just,
Sit back and watch the flow.
What goes by,
Upon the tide,
On the side of the road.


Verse III

Sometimes there are people too,
Out wanderin' around.
Just like me,
They're try'n' to see,
What's out there to be found.
Some are nice and some are mean,
You never really know.
Some are out,
Just roam'n' about,
On the side of the road.

About this poem:
This is a country song I wrote and posted a loooonnnng time ago, before people started really commenting on my poems. Just thought I'd dust it off and throw it out there to see what people think of it. Written........................ on the side of the road.
