Hold Steady

Car on fire smoking
Alternator shot
400 dollars drained
Pockets empty
Hold steady...

Coffee spilled on laptop
Fights at work
Anger from financial strain
**** retentive drivers
Hold steady...

Car fixed, thank God
Laptop dried out still works, thank God.
Arguments end, thank God
Drivers live another day, thank God
And since then...

I always thank God and somehow.... Hold Steady.
