aw hell
who can tell
to a friend
words that we send

sandie, thanks for the reads. i apologize. i been operating on a short fuse lately.

my dad ain't doin' too good.

got 2 brothers

1 in virginia, he don't really care.

1 in san antonio, TX...a real pain in the ass.

you see, my other brother me, gave him control of dad's monety as in $$$.

2 broken cars, a washin' machine, a hot water thing,
that mean spending $$$.

old taxes & new,
whata' gone to do?
except pay.

he said no,
that part is up to me,

after all,
what do i do
what do i get payed to do.

go to the washAteria,
buy goceries,
without a car,
afterall,
it is it 'tis
his money
least that's the way he see's
things

not me.
it's dad's money.
that old water heater
was bought in 1986.
and the washin' machine
in '87.
the cars or the truck,
were from the 90's too
or 5 or 1997.

1 brother said
when i said
"dad say die he ready to do"
and the other brother,
oh mother,
he said this is our inheritance"
i was lost.
dad has a few 100,000's r 2

he pee's
i wash
i watch
him pee

ain't myfault he don't see
where he pee

old washin' machine's
old water heaters
old men
1 things for sure
do you have the nerve
do he or i or they
have the right to say

"goodbye"

it ain't the money honey
ain't that funny
he & me
we live until we die.
he & i least we tried.

goodbye

i say it my way

a funeral
surreal
help me heal
no big deal

old cars
old stars
old wars
we fought
old thougts
we sought

he & me
my dad & me
we just be
who we are
some old lonesome star

sandie, i apolgize
ever day the sun does rise
everyday has it's own surprise
a kiss & a hugg
a draw on the jugg
take a slug
from the mug
take a tug

and so i apologize
sandie,
i realize
i just be
me

the me i am
damn

Death & Stone
& all alone
bare to the bone...
can you sing that too
i can do...
