Picking Heartstrings

There are people out there wishing that they had a life like mine And I can't say I don't blame them much it's really kind of fine I've got a loving woman and three daughters I love too And a homestead bought and paid for that's kind of well to do The last cat's living loving with her royalty and power And the humming birds are fat and full of sugar and of flowers The gardens are well tended and the harvest has begun And although I'm busy mowing even that is kind of fun I'm stuck in satisfaction caught in tranquility Tied down to what and who I love for all eternity Freedom's a forgotten word I've had it for so long That's why I pick these heart strings and why I wrote this song I dreamed of this in high school that's where I met my bride And I wed her in Hawaii with a head filled up with pride It's been a while of wonder a rat race and a ride But we've won it all together though there were some times we cried So there's people out there wishing that they had a life like mine They should take a look at what they have I did and it feels fine Oh we ain't rich in money and none too rich in fame But we're mighty rich in lovin and that's the whole darn game
