Left To Your Own Devices

LEFT TO YOUR OWN DEVICES

Nothing better for the soul, then letting go

No words can describe what it's like

The smile it creates when your left to your own devices

What a relief from the grief

Sometimes things weigh heavy on my heart

Sometimes I cry louder than the thunder

The tears it creates when your left to your own devices

What a burden when you are hurting

One day at a time, some good, some bad

Medicated myself to numb my insides and thoughts

The laughter it creates when your left to your own devices

What a life and how it changes all the time

WEARY TRAVELER

On the road all day and night no end in sight

Same songs play on the radio, same ones from an hour ago

The hands on the clock go round in circles tick tock tick tock

I'm the weary traveler looking for a place to stop

The work never ends all day and night, no reprieve in sight

Same complaints creating my headaches, same ones from yesterday

The hours pass as my attitude bends tick tock tick tock

I'm the weary worker looking for a place to stop

The people around me living their lives with no end in sight

Praying for a little relief, same prayers we all need

Passing time as the years pile up tick tock tick tock

I'm the weary stranger looking for a place to stop

On the road again all day and night playing my tunes

Same songs I played to cure the blues, same songs that I always do

It makes my hours worth living tick tock tick tock

I'm the weary traveler that will never stop.
