Reflections of Life

acoustic rendition

VERSE
One more shot of whiskey then the door
Past the car, I can walk it from here
Gave two years to the county and the courts
These lessons they’ve come late and slow
Day by day that’s how I go

VERSE
Young woman at the diner makes me smile
She asked me to coffee, not date set yet
I think you’d like her, she’s just that type
Is it a sign of mental health
I don’t know if I trust myself

CHORUS
Life can turn on some pivotal dimes
Lay all those hopes and fears bare
Paying penance for my mistakes and crimes
I wasn’t one to play it fair
Must’ve seemed like I didn’t care
Another long sleepless night
These reflections of life

VERSE
Four years to the day we laid you down
400 hundred miles in my escape out west
Left Tuesday morning without a sound
Sometimes it’s the only way
Sick of answering, “are you okay?”
