This is the first song I wrote that I considered sort of worth saving. I wrote it prior to going to Chilibills jam in Tupelo back in 2000? or somewhere around there. Evan and Arch Monkey helped me polish it up a bit.

Original Song
This is my original song
It won’t take me very long
It came to me while in the shower
Opened up just like a flower
I don’t have that much to say
But I’ll say it anyway
‘Cause this is my, original song
I could sing of loss and pain
And how life is filled with rain
But things are going pretty good
In my personal neighborhood
I don’t have that much to say
But I’ll say it anyway
‘Cause this is my, original song
I could bitch and moan all day
But that won’t make problems go away
I just do the best I can
And trust top God’s mysterious plan
I don’t have that much to say
But I’ll say it anyway
‘Cause this is my, original song
Nobody’s life is completely free
Of pain and loss and misery
But if you wallow in it all
You’re headed for a worse fall
I don’t have that much to say
But I’ll say it anyway
‘Cause this is my, original song
I try to get up every morn
Thankful for just being born
Try to do what I’m supposed to do
That’s loving me and loving you
I don’t have that much to say
But I’ll say it anyway
‘Cause this is my, original song
