Politician's Conception
I was walking down life’s highway thinking of yesterday
Boy I learned a lesson that’s why I write today
The freight train called tomorrow smacked me oh so fast
I didn’t see it coming because I was staring at my past
I hope I learned the lesson and will let it guide me true
Yesterdays gone, nothing more that we can do
If you didn’t learn its lesson I promise we are lost
If we don’t look forward you can’t believe the cost
So I promised me, to always look ahead, in an act of true contrition
Because I wouldn’t want to die and go to hell and become a politician
