Poem
My soul understood Lynyrd Skynyrd Like Ronnie I had monkeys to Just simple boys chasing life’s joys With our needles playing our blues My soul understood Pink Floyd For I have lived inside the wall Comfortably numb and ignorantly dumb Living my life forever tasting the call My soul understood Nirvana The White Horse has lived in my stall I’ve tasted death at the edge of my breath As my soul just nodded through it all Like Creed I am my own Prison No appeal on the docket today What I learned from John Lennon We all need to learn how to pray Morrison took me to the roadhouse Like Merle they locked me away And I guess just like Creedence I’ve seen rain on the sunny day You know I do love Hank Jr. Especially when he sings the blues It seems so many of us just hop on the bus Forever lost in the Addictions we choose Sometimes I feel just like Kid Rock I’m just sitting here in search of myself I have great respect for Garth Brooks For his family he put his career on the shelf Johnny Cash sang of San Quentin I heard the song in one of its cells Locked up inside of that medieval prison You feel like you have made it to hell Like Jerry Garcia I fried in Berkley Like Hendrix I dropped acid in my eyes To this day when I hear Janice Joplin I just want to break down and cry The Eagles played the Hotel California I have led the dance on that Prison yard Guns & Roses sang of the Jungle Prison is a world very cold and hard These are a few of the songs and the makers Ones that have shared my story and plight When I die just play dust in the wind As I ride the stairway to heaven that night If my song is granted one purpose And the music I’m allowed to choose Let it be said that the song in my head Was country rock with a touch of the blues And let that song forever tell a story A horrible story that ended so bright For when Jesus Christ grants his mercy Even the most blind can be led to the light So Lord let my life be your lighthouse Lord please guide my story as it’s told And whatever you do Lord I beg of you Help me stay worthy of the heart that I hold
