I Can't Complain

Lost my job yesterday
Now the car won’t start
The job I didn’t hate
near as much as the “waking up” part
Well, I guess I’ll need to find
some productive way
for me to occupy my mind.
But, all-in-all I’d have to say
I can’t complain,
though, I’ll certainly try
But there’s folks out there
got it worse than I.
So, if ya ask how I’ve been,
I’ll just wind up saying
I can’t complain.
Now, people of this planet
Struggle in many-a fashion
If they don’t instagram it..
does it even happen?
Are there foreign drones above
ready to explode
everyone you love?
If there’s one thing that I know..
Ya can’t complain,
let me tell ya why
Cause there’s folks out there
got it worse than I.
So when I ask how ya been?
Let’s just start by saying
I can’t complain

Heavy Heart

If not for my Heavy Heart carrying the load
these blue nights would be more than I could stand
and I know that my whole world would fall apart
if not for my Heavy Heart
Have you been in love?
Was your love true?
Did it turn your Heavy Heart of red all black and blue?
Do you hurt like me?
If you say you do..
well I'm sure right now, you're wondering how you'll even make it through
It don't have to be so dire
like you're stranded all alone.
I know I wouldn't make it on my own..
If not for my Heavy Heart
Have you been down and out
with no will to live?
Did they take all they could take from you?
Did you give all you could give?
When two weeks pass,
are your pockets dry?
Are there bills to pay that feel like they won't be paid before you die?
It don't have to be so dire
like you're stranded all alone.
I know I wouldn't make it on my own..
If not for my Heavy Heart

Date Night

Honey, ain’t it funny, the way these winter months keep us down?
Well, tonight let’s dress in our Sunday’s Best, go out and paint the town!
We can hit the pub, maybe get some grub, and come home real late..
Something tells me, this is gonna be a good date.
We’ll ask the band to play some Willie & I’ll wear my boots with heels.
If you’ve got the money, honey, I’ve got the wheels.
When the band tears down, and we’re still around & the barkeeps irate..
Something tells me, this is gonna be a good date.
Ya gotta treat yourself & make it all feel worthwhile.
Bitch about your boss. Forget the cost. Pretend you’re just buying a smile!
When ya wake tomorrow with your head all banging,
Hope ya remember this song I’m singing..
Money ain’t nothing but blood and sweat & I’d give it away if I could only get
One Night with my gal on the Town
But all the money spent.. we really should stay home
Thursday’s rent.. Monday’s the phone
Makes me wonder why we work our fingers to the bone..
Come to think, guess we could just stay in
Take a rain check ’til next Paycheck, go out and try ‘er again
We got some beer in the garage sitting next to the stink bait.
Something tells me this is gonna be a good date.
We’ll put on a Willie record & plant our asses here.
Perfectly content watching the bubbles in our beer.
When the records done, we’ll grab another one, drop the needle & just wait
Something tells me this is gonna be a good date.
Ya gotta treat yourself & make it all feel worthwhile.
Bitch about your boss. Forget the cost. Pretend you’re just buying a smile!
When ya wake tomorrow with your head all banging,
Hope ya remember this song I’m singing..
Money ain’t nothing but blood and sweat & I’d give it away if I could only get
One Night with my gal on the Town
Money ain’t nothin but blood and sweat
but it’s all gone, and there ain’t none left
so it’s One Night with my gal on the couch

Outta Sight
03:56

Don’t ask why it is that I’ve been drinking
or why I’m at the tavern til they’re wiping down the bar
or say “Don’t you see what it’d do to me if one night
you wouldn’t make it driving home in our car”
Please, Don’t ask how my day at work was
put on my boots and the morning news was more than I could bare
put some music on & sing along.. before I know my workday is gone
and I’m back to the bar to drown my cares
But your stars aligned, and now you’re out of sight.
You packed all your belongings and you sailed away that night,
but you said that when I make it off this rock, I’d still have your heart.
even from afar.. I’m just staring at the stars
Friends tell me they wish they’d see me smiling
a smile won’t hide what’s in my eyes - she left me here alone.
But I keep workin’ cause I know soon.. I’m gonna meet you on that moon, so far
I’m just staring at the stars
