It's Good To Be Back
It's good to back
I'm up and sharp like a tack,
below I sat blue
not knowing life not one clue.
But now I'm writing again
no more pain to gain,
I know I said this stuff before
so let's have a drink and give us more.
I see life anew and my heart sings
with the ring of a phone a voice so sweet
in my eye I see a golden ring,
no fake nor shame to say "let's go and have a fling!"
It's good to be back
without any lack in the backpack
the booze is flowing
and the cigarette smoke lowering,
Funny as it is... but sometimes I think of the poets
who all took a chance and knew it,
that they'd die poor and lonely,
all knowing that they were not phony.
As they lived great lives before me,
I look at myself in glory.
I hope life will be as kind
and love spare me a love so fine.
