2006 Kicks

I am thinking it's gonna be a good year

The optimism of it all...

Open Mic was cool Mon.
Kinda slow due to excessive previous partying
Still a few showed up
Which is better then none
The glass is half full

Damn it with all the optimism...

Wrote a poem today wanna read it?

You sure?

Ok...

well uncle sam went a stompin across the desert
bad guys are here blowin up the streets
my buddy had a baby girl and left her
got that oily sand under his feet

you may say it's all for our protection
all that money an oil don't mean a damn
looks to me like a lot of boys are dyin
for a green flag wavin uncle sam

I aint sayin it didnt have to happen
sometimes you just have to fight
follow wrong with wrong its still wrong
you never run into the right

I guess I cant bitch cause i'm still here
and there's a few i know can't say the same
when we stand in line at the white gate
how many will feel the blame

I didn't say go can I say stop
do we all have to play along
If i put it in words and music
would anyone sing that song

hope the sands of time are forgiving
hope we are always bigger than the rest
hope they never call and want to see me
hope I never have to pass their test

I could pull the trigger if I saw their gun
I'll defend her till the day i die
rather take one in the back from an unknown man
then kill him first over a lie

No name yet

Probably never get one
Can't really make it work to music
Wasn't really thinking like that as I wrote it

I was really thinking...


No I was REALLY thinking

Anyway gonna try to make the open mic at
T Bones in Denison this thur

I always say that and decide it's to far

I am getting old

And hungry

"I've seen them fight like lions boys,
seen them go like lambs,
I've helped to drag them when they couldn't stand"
