Short Stories

I don't wanna write songs about depression

you probably won't' hear me singing songs about the lady I love

I don't bring up governments and politicians

but I got these short stories in my bag

you know the ones that I'm speaking of

The man in the suit who wants to be a stock market millionaire

with a twin brother over on the other side of town

who wants to lay back beach bum and growin' hair

separated at birth and given up for an adoption

then the vagabond finds himself at the beach and the other one in a mansion and he said

I don't wanna write songs about depression

you probably won't hear me singing songs about the lady I love

I don't bring up governments and politicians

but i got these short stories in my bag

you know the ones that I'm speaking of

Once upon a time a young man age 18 leaves his hometown to go see

what the rest of the world could offer him and to gain some clarity

Now he's gone everywhere that he wanted to go

and every thing was all said and done then he finds himself on the front door

step of the home town that he came from and he said

Well I don't wanna write songs about depression

you probably won't' hear me singing songs about the lady I love

I don't bring up governments and politicians

but I got these short stories in my bag you know the ones that I'm speaking of

Things goin' bad but you don't care

stories told by the man in the rocking chair

or the crack head sleeping out on the street

no clothes on his back no shoes on his feet

but the tale that he tells to me obviously aint reality

truth or fiction I'm still listenin' wanting more like his addiction

I don't wanna write songs about depression

you probably won't' hear me singing songs about the lady I love

I don't bring up governments and politicians

but I got these short stories in my bag you know the ones that I'm speaking of
