I have an 8 to 5 job I’m now living like a slob It’s a lifeless job as can be I no longer want it to be me Now sitting at the bar They seem so far Putting the bourbon’s away I’m over looking the bay I stagger thru the empty home With no messages on the phone Once I go through the door I fall flat on the floor I'd see my wife And the kids, they were my life I hear their laughter and watching them playing My boy on the slide and my girl swinging I see them so clearly, in my dreams Knowing that they are enjoying their ice creams I reach out to touch them and they disappear Now the pictures of my family are all smears Waking up in a puddle of sweat The blankets all tied around waist But in those dreams, is the only way I feel close Because of some jerk, I have lost my only desire to pose He has denied me the pleasure of seeing them grow up, in grace Because he ran the red light to win the drag race 29 Aug 2009 Roy W.
