With Out You.

its different than I imagined
this life with out you
there's good days and bad days
and days I'm totally through
I can feel the freedom
a little more than the ache
this distance surprises me
its not more than I can take
this life without you
I must say is quite nice
even when your face appears
in my dreams more than twice
I won't say its been easy
cuz I know I'm no fool
this pain has taken it's toll
but I'm no body's foot stool
there's a line I must draw
before I'm gone in the rush
and its far too late for anything
so please baby just hush.

muck & mire

when the muck
and the mire
and the all around yuck
try to get you down
and you've run out of luck
when the road is too bumpy
and you can't see the way
when friends are a memory
and your feet turn to clay
don't dismay
don't turn back
push ahead
when your sky's black
don't give up
don't give out
keep your course
on the track
hold onto your faith
when your eyes cannot see
grasp onto hope
when it's easiest to flee
forgive your enemies
and especially your friends
make amends when it hurts
make love your endeavor
cuz at the end of the day
that's what lasts forever.

when pigs fly

someday I'll be a cool kid
the subject of all the talk
I'll strut my stuff around the town
with a swag in my walk
I'll never have bad hair days
or nights or afternoons
I'll always look just perfect
instead of like a baboon
I'll say clever things, like all the time
you'll think I'm quite the brain
I'll start the show and lead the way
on the cool kid train
someday I'll be the cool kid
someday that will be me
but until then I'll be picking my nose
upside down in a tree.
