Noise Inside My Brain

Underneath the glow of dusk I see some street people that busk An open case just by their feet And people dancing to their beat They do the songs they know so well That people have to sit a spell I seat myself to watch a bit What do you know they play a hit And then I rise to walk away But turn back round to hear them play A song I have not heard for years It makes me think and brings some tears It’s something from my horrid past I’m just kidding my life’s a blast We sure can say we did it right And even did without a fight My mind is noise inside my brain That has me racing like a train My hopes are that I don’t derail If impaired I’d go to jail Never drink and drive around You may never get to make a sound Like a wolf howling at the moon Goodnight my friends I’ll see you soon
