Uncut Version
This house is dirty with an uncut lawn
Walking nightmare, I watch the dawn
And wonder why life is so unfair
Emotionally, I barely get by
I’ve seen my troubles
I’ve had my own share
Then watched in pain
As my daughters got more of the same
Insane, I’ve always enjoyed the highs
But not what’s next - so crushed I want to die
Or just for a moment for time to stand still
I take my pills
I do what they say is right
It’s turned out bad so many times
Even with hard work and some insight
No, matter what I pray to the Lord
My God above, he must have heard
Because I’m still here and alive
But at such a cost I still wonder why
Seems life’s just that way, so I cry
As time flies by, I watch the steps my granddaughter takes
Looking at her future, I start to shake
And pray that she be spared
From the cold, lonely insane cares
That her mother and I fought over and sometimes shared
I don’t possess a crystal ball to see
How it will turn out, all of our destinies
So I leave you here as I mood cycle along
Going back to where I belong
Alleluia…
