Life....A Wake Up Call.

I'm not real sure what happened,
Why? is a mystery to me,
It sent my life a spinning,
So damn uncontrolably.
When I awoke, I felt no pain,
Two days later in my bed,
With a broken hip, wrist,etc.
....at least I wasn't dead.
So I stay in good spirits,
Maybe better than ever before,
As I roll around Mt. Sterling,
In and out of all the stores.
People are gonna look at me,
So I might as well flirt back,
From "What did you do,gonna be all right?"
To "were you smoking crack"? (ha ha)
I've met lots of nice people,
With more friends than I could name,
I miss the life I used to have,
But I never want it to be the same.
