Long Story



They said we could have flying cars
When I was a kid said shoot for the stars
Lying but I tried it out to see
Trying to fly as time happened to me

Observing what happens to be
From inside out that comes from outside in
Not flying yet but still trying to

When not too depressed to progress I do
German Lutheran stubbornness
Is serving me well as I follow through
With the work in progress I have been

I shot for and got my star though falling
At least a tattoo anyway
Finally found myself and my calling
Here in a Hi-Desert hideaway

Maybe not lying they were trying too
I gave up waiting for the car
But what I shot for and got was a star
That now I think of it may be me

Better than ever and nevertheless
Here I am however I guess
For now or never and never mind then

Long story along toward where it ends
Yes I am a mess but I have friends

That certainly was a long story short. You didn't get what you shot for, but you got all you need.
