The tugging has to stop
February 28th, 2007The tugging has to stop
They pull me from one to the other
Who’s right?
We tug at our relationships
to make things
they’re now different
leave me alone
stop tugging at me
I’m a man
I’m a grown-up
Decisions made
The tugging continues
I don’t want to see that movie
Tugging at me again
No, I don’t wear a tie to work
Tugging at me again
I don’t do cocktail parties
Tugging at me again
That corporate ladder leads to the gallows
Tugging at me again
I mow the lawn when I think it needs it
Tugging at me again
I go and play with my friends. Come with!
Tugging at me again
I do not wish to smoke that pipe or have another beer
Tugging at me again
Tumbling with friends has taught me more abut myself
That all the Tai-Chi, shrinks and the uber-discipline has.
I like to smile
I can be a cowboy
If I wanna’
She’s tugging at my heart again
And
He is tugging my brain
Out
Of it’s socket
I am still me
Among the elm, hickory and locust
I walk with my rifle
That doe and I had an understanding
We spoke
louder
she knew who I am and what I do
and why
I gave thanks to her
There is No tugging out there
Do your job
Be here for me
Let’s just talk awhile
Go there at that time
Come back here, then
Fill out the form
Just hang out
We’re going to put you on standby
So you can standby
In case you’re asked to
Stand by
I can be a green Army man
If I wanna’
My direction may not be yours
It’s not wrong it’s mine
We smoke and drink and tumble and laugh
You say, “NO!”
Stop tugging me towards your vision of what you think I am
It’s just me
I can be an accountant
If I wanna’
Mean Frogs Suck
I do my best not to lie
I try to
Be a
Good person
I do believe in peace
I try to be an honorable man
I wanna’ be the best person I can
without anger, intolerance, jealousy,
Some times I can do it
At least I try.
I can be a Film Director
If I wanna’
