today
i told my Story
to my Self
about yesterday
and Today
and it's worry
afterall
it's just My Story
my down fall

i said it
i read it
there in my mind
i can tell you it tweren't too kind
what i did find.
but, what do you do
when The Story is True
be blue
naw that won't do
you just do what you do
and go on
and own what you own
that be known

i've loved'
i've lost
i've shoved
i've paid the cost
in yesteday's
and anyway's
least they ain't today's

my Self & I
we faced each other
today
oh brother
that was another
we faced Today
and
what had gone away
and what was gone bye
the reason's why
what can i say
'cept i still wonder "why?"

try as i may
try as i must
what can i say
my Life's been a bust

won some
lost some
some were a draw
aw
they come
and they go
don't you know?

Life passes bye
a minute at a time
sometime's there's ryhtmn
sometime's there's rhyme
a minute at a time

it's just Time
passin' you bye
so why ask "why?"
just give it a try
and say good-bye
to yesterday
just live Life for Today

wait for Tomorrow
with a smile
face it's sorrow
go that next mile

all the while
you can smile
or cry
just give it
your best try
ain't that the shit
you have to do it
Time still passes bye
don't ask me why

so look at you
and what you do
i do

be true
to your Self
ain't nuthin' else
but Your Story
to be told
young or old

don't worry
it's The Story
of Life
struggle & strife

facin' each day
as they pass away
into Yesterday

it's my Story
it's Your's
that for sure's
The Story

young or old
The Story
get's told
The Story
of Life
struggle & strife
it is The Story.
