Song/Lyric Poems (408)

Verse I

Friday night in this one-horse town,
Music's lame, thinkin' homeward bound.
Wait a minute! Who's that I see?
Pretty lady lookin' back at me.


Chorus

Is it hot in here, or is it just you?
Lookin' bored, you need somebody to do.
I can curl your toes, girl I swear it's true.
Is it hot in here, or is it just you?


Verse II

I smiled at her. She smiled at me.
Thinkin' she'd like some company.
Hey barkeep, put her on my tab,
An' I'll take one of what she has.


Verse III

Hey sweet thing, can we talk a while?
Lookin' good an' I like your style.
You and me, we could have some fun.
Rock your world til the mornin' come.


Verse IV

She didn't buy my cheesy lines,
Made her laugh, so it worked out fine.
Wadda ya' know now, glory be,
That little girl came home with me.

Verse I

Woke up this mornin',
And that's always a plus.
Still up on top of,
The ashes and the dust.
No indications,
That I have woke up dead.
Guess it's okay to,
Get on up out of bed.


Chorus

It's a pretty fine day,
When I'm not feelin' too sad.
It's a pretty fine day,
When the pain is not too bad.
It's a pretty fine day,
When the wolves are all at bay.
Overall I gotta say,
That this is a pretty fine day.


Verse II

Up on my feet, yeah,
Both legs still workin' too.
Head to the kitchen,
I got coffee to brew.
Not on the street and,
There's plenty food to eat,
Just count my blessings,
I'm not yet in defeat.


Verse III

Got through the day with,
No new catastrophies.
No wants or warrants,
So I'm still runnin' free.
And if I'm sinkin',
The hole is not that deep.
No worries now as,
I drift on off to sleep.

Spell has broken, magic is all gone,
The moon has lost that old special charm.
Guess some things aren't meant to last that long.

In this old world, magic's running thin.
There is no way romance's gonna' win.
Hard to believe it has ever been.

Sweet enchantment gone away for good.
Who would have seen that it ever could?
Should have known it, never thought it would.

Saw it coming, still tried to pretend.
Wanted to think it would never end.
Magic left us, won't return again.

Its been years since you have been gone
But it feels like yesterday
Time has moved so slowly
With little conviction anyway
But I hope you have now found happiness
But I hope you have found peace
I hope you have found pleasure
In all that you seek

I am sorry for the times I walked away
Confused, frustrated, and words were hard to say
And when things got tough
I found it all easier this way
Can you ever forgive me
The foolish man I be
I thank you for loving me

You gave me reason to live
You gave me reason to cry
You taught me how to give
The answers I now know why
You gave me reasons to live
Unselfish but true
So many reasons
Must be why God created you

Saying I am sorry wont fill this void I face
All the lonely nights alone
Never to wake and see your face
Demons torment me day and night
Just lose my way cant seem to find the light
Where does one begin to start
Just an emptiness to the soul of my heart

Verse I

Was doin' good, my eagle flyin' high,
Yeah, doin' good, my eagle flew so high,
Then all at once that well it just ran dry.


Chorus

Can't find no work now, don't know what to do,
There ain't no work, what am I s'posed to do?
Just one more fool to sing these jobless blues.


Verse II

My unemployment lasted for a while,
Yeah, unemployment saved me for a while,
Now it's all gone an' bills are pilin' high.


Verse III

Not on the street but guess it won't be long,
Not homeless yet but can't be very long,
Til landlord say it's time for movin on.


Verse IV

Worked all my life, ain't never been this way,
I've worked so hard, how could it be this way?
With nothin' left to keep the wolves at bay.

Verse I

Pow'rs that be play politics,
To them we're only pawns.
Glories past won't help with this,
Those days have come and gone.


Chorus

Our dreams all turned to dust.
To feed their power lust,
They have betrayed our trust.
What's to become of us?


Verse II

Their posturing position,
Self-serving one and all,
Leading us to destruction,
We're headed for a fall.


Verse III

There must be some solution,
To stop this downhill slide.
Without some intervention,
The end is suicide.

Verse I

Across the waves I flew to you.
I got to hold you for a while.
Don't regret it for a moment,
And looking back I have to smile.
To stay with you was all I wished,
Though this the fates would not allow.
My one desire is out of reach,
These arms just ache for you right now.


Chorus

My heart is filled with love for you.
So captivated by your charms.
I live for when we meet again,
To hold you in my empty arms.


Verse II

The trip was long and wearying.
My hitchhike home was blazing hot.
But true pain comes from deep inside,
And missing you sure hurts a lot.
Our time together was too short,
But we'll get back again somehow.
Until we can I'm missing you,
These arms just ache for you right now.

People act like they are so far apart.Even though the Spirit of God unites them at the heart.They have nothing,but chaos in their minds.War and hatred is the lie that blinds.Preachers are saying that they preach the "good news".Then they instill fear and condemnation to the spiritually abused.Political figures say for equal human rights they care.Then they start a war at the drop of a hair.Big corporations say that their employees they are for.Then with political blessings our jobs are no more.The corporations,government,and religious systems are run by the corrupt minds of men.Though when God says stop this will all come to an end.When Jesus returns you'll be surprised how it will be.Not through the sky,but through you and me.Then we will walk bringing true peace across this Earth.Being mothers giving true peace a real rebirth.Teaching and filling their hearts with love.Then the preachers and political figures will lay down their Bibles and guns.Everybody will have exactly what they need.And the big corporations will lose their motivation for greed.Greed and corruption shall not last.In just a short while these will be things of the past.Those that have been first shall be last and the last shall be first.Gods' people would have endured the worst.Then by Gods' grace all of humanity shall realize they're free.Because what has been reality will become an illusion and the illusion shall be reality.

I'm tired and frustrated
I'm getting what I've given.
How can I keep goin' on
Livin' like I'm livin'.
I am God's child
Part of his plan.
How come I feel
Less of a man.
I know I could do better
We always can.
I thought I put in enough
Time to understand.
But it's your plan LORD
Maybe I'm not supposed to achieve.
All the thing's in my life
That I thought I'd need.

Verse I

Get out the map and plan our trip,
Jump in the car and drive away.
Hand on your knee, wind in our hair,
Workin' is done it's time to play.


Chorus

We share a song,
And sing along.
Just me and you,
We rock we two.
I ride, you drive,
Feel so alive.
As we roll 'long,
And share a song.


Verse II

Our bags been packed for days on end,
This is what we've been waiting for.
We'll take our time and tool along,
See what the road has got in store.


Verse III

Between the songs we turn it down,
So we can hear what will be said.
It's luxury for you and me,
To talk about the days ahead.
