Life Is Not Fair Sometimes
If you brought this lyric to an NSAI (Nashville Songwriters Association International) meeting to have it critiqued, what do you think the reaction would be?
I need to be myself
I can't be no one else
I'm feeling supersonic
Give me gin and tonic
You can have it all but how much do you want it?
You make me laugh
Give me your autograph
Can I ride with you in your B.M.W ?
You can sail with me in my yellow submarine
Or how about this one?
Staring blindly into space
Getting up to splash my face
Wanting just to stay awake
Wondering how much I can take
Should I try to do some more
25 or 6 to 4
OK, one more...
"I am," I said
To no one there,
And no one heard at all
Not even the chair
No wonder so many people think that they too can write a song.
