i was going thru all my stuff getting it in order and trying to get all the stuff I have written together to give my kids after I leave the planet. I found several that never got finished, or posted. This was one of em that I just never finished. Needs a bridge and another verse that just never came to me. Oh well.

Monday morning came with cold north wind And I put my hat on, ducked my head And faced the day again And for me I just don't know no other way Just like my daddy's daddy did There's no one takes the blame . Let the wind blow where it may Let the rain fall and I'm OK Let time carve out the lines, in my face. All I know is that I'm still alive today And I'm a doing ok. . And my woman still holds me tight at night Don't start no trouble won't be no trouble Unless you want a fight. . Let the wind blow where it may Let the rain fall and I'm OK Let time carve out the lines in my face. All I know is that I'm still alive today And I'm a doing ok.

You should finish this, I think it's really good. =) In any case, thanks for posting it, I enjoyed reading it tonight, I appreciate the understated feelings of contentment. Sometimes, just being ok, is enough. In fact, those who are constantly living for a thrill, I would imagine, are frequently disappointed.
