I wrote this while studying for a Shakespeare exam in college. Obviously my mind was elsewhere, caught in a sing-song of rhyme

Lyrics:
Don’t know why I’m feeling blue, I’ve got way too much to do
There’s no time to think of you, but you’re what I need to see me through
I work so I can play, I hope someday that it might pay
Then I might begin to save up for that very special date.

chorus: Got no time, got no time, but you’re always on my mind.
I fantasize our hearts entwined…. when we’ve got the time.

I’m doing this you’re doing that, our lives don’t seem to cross
Something must be sacrificed before we feel the loss.
Concentration out the window, an empty bed I dread,
It’s hard for me to hold onto your vision in my head.

I’ve got no time, got no time, but you’re always on my mind.
I fantasize our hearts entwined….

While I dream of the day we’ll forget just why we’re racing
And we’ll catch time for embracing
You & me, timelessly, when we’ve got the time.

Maybe sometime on the weekend or one night after work
I’ll take you out and dance your feet right off this Earth.
We could sail out to an island where the waves will lap our toes
I won’t settle for a movie and some fast food and to go!
chorus:

I’ve got no time, got no time, but when I do our love will shine.
Time…….someday we will make the time!

Revised lyrics:
I won’t settle for some fast food and a movie to go!

Country-kickin’ cure for a heartache party

Lyrics:
It’s deep in the summer and I’m singin’ the blues
I tried too hard to get next to you.
I know I should’ve taken more time
But you’re all that’s on my mind.
When I walk on the beach I see plenty of things
To keep me distracted while I’m waiting in the wings
For if you should ever change your mind
I’ll be there in a rhyme.

chorus:    For I’m trying not to think.
Just gotta kick back into life….into life
Give me a chance to feel better overnight….overnight

Put me in a car and send me downtown
Take me to a place where the lights are loud
I’m gonna kick these boots till I shake you loose
From the heart you hung in a noose.

Chorus 2:    And I’m trying not to think….don’t think
Just gotta kick back into life….into life
Give me a chance to feel better overnight….overnight…alright!

As I dance I see your eyes on me, I’m wondering if we could be
Together, forever, two kids and two cars
I’m out of my head I’ve got to break free!
Woah! I think too fast, gotta sit back, got to relax
Yo-ho! The doctor’s in the house sayin’ “Rock your inside out!”

And I’m trying not to think so I can kick back into life.

Give me a chance to feel better and I’ll make you feel alright….. overnight!

And I’m trying not to think just gotta kick back into life.
Give me a chance to feel better overnight….alright!

Written in the car on the way to work in a ridiculous Atlanta traffic jam.

Lyrics:

On my way to work this morning, cup of coffee in my hand,
My mind is irritated by this goddamn traffic jam!
Woa-o-oh, what am I doing?
I’m on my way to a stupid job that’s made my life a ruin.
I’m risking my neck on this crazy road five days a week.
My job’s so dull and boring I can do it in my sleep.

Well I raced on through the rush hour, I just wanted to get home.
It was a hectic, awful, no-good day, I need to rest my bones.
Woa-o-oh, what do I fear?
The day my salary gets so small I can’t afford a beer.
I ain’t got time to think about five days down the road
‘Cause the current pace that I’m keeping’s
Got my brain on overload!

chorus:
Commuter blues, commuter blues,
It’s just too da-gone far to walk, I ain’t got no joggin’ shoes.

They say this type of music’s  too predictable and used, but I kind of like it,
It’s the kind of beat I choose.

The melody keeps on rockin’ and my wheels are always rollin’.
I wake up every morning and I sing commuter blues!

Chorus

Revised lyrics:
“______ traffic jam”
“I crawled on through the rush hour”
“The day my paycheck gets so small I spend it all on beer”
