Another kinda unfinished. Loosely based on actual events of my life, lol. Sung in 2/4 time bluegrass style. Banjo. Hope u all enjoy or at least laugh

With a Ricky Scaggs or rascal flats twist. Ha

 

Well I was just trying to reach the other side Couldn't swim So I tried to fly But I lost my wings And if you don't mind Could you bail me out please One more time? . Ten years old at the swimming hole That ol rope swing took a part of my soul Grabbed that rope but I couldn't let go I fell off and broke my toe They laughed at me when I was ten years old . Well I was just trying to reach the other side Couldn't swim So I tried to fly But I lost my wings And if you don't mind Could you bail me out this One more time? . 17 in my daddy's truck A settin there working my courage up She was bout to say yes when the sheriff pulled up It happened to me man of all the luck . Well I was just trying to reach the other side Couldn't swim So I tried to fly But I lost my wings And if you don't mind Could you bail me out maybe One more time? . At 24 I was outta my mind All strung out And running blind No place to go and in a four way bind I'd gone too far and crossed the line . Well I was just trying to reach the other side Couldn't swim So I tried to fly But I lost my wings And if you don't mind Could you bail me out just One more time? . When He called to me I just couldn't let go I thought I'd gone too far And lost my soul But He held on tight Love made me whole He bailed me out even when I couldn't let go . Well I was just trying to reach the other side Couldn't swim So I tried to fly But I lost my wings And if you don't mind Could you bail me out Lord One more time?
