Do Me Right

Another work day, I fight the freeway Another brick in the wall Big blue world goes round and round, round Traffic in a funnel, heading through the tunnel Someone cuts and flips me off I won't let stupid get me down, down You can look to the sky for a little sunshine Stare until you done gone blind You could spend your life and not realize What you have right in front of your eyes Thank God your alive, alright Pay it forward in kind I don't wanna fight, but I might Trying to get by Just do me right, do me right There's no clear view, from a rearview Objects may appear A lot closer than you think, than you think Don't look behind, time out of mind Days disappear It's all over in a blink, in a blink You can look to the sky for a little sunshine Stare until you done gone blind You could spend your life and not realize What you have right in front of your eyes Thank God your alive, alright Pay it forward in kind I don't wanna fight, but I might Trying to get by Just do me right, do me right It takes some mad skills, paying my bills Working 'til the Kingdom Come Hold to the good things that you find, that you find Be a good neighbor, that's good labor Life Lesson 101 Happy is a state of mind, state of mind You can look to the sky for a little sunshine Stare until you done gone blind You could spend your life and not realize What you have right in front of your eyes Thank God your alive, alright Pay it forward in kind I don't wanna fight, but I might Trying to get by Just do me right, do me right ©2017.
