Stay In the Game

Living alone, Sometimes happy, Sometimes sad 
Don't  have near the stuff I had 
 My Mom and Dad have passed away 
All my children have moved away 
  My wife lives with another man 
Still doing the best I can 
 Sometimes fall asleep early, Leave on the lights 
Sometimes I stay up all night 

Been all over the world, England, France, and Spain 
Had a lot of good times 
Had times of pain 

Life with everyone has Highs and Lows 
Somethings Fast Somethings Slow 

Wish I could turn back the hands of times, See my parents one more time 

More things change they remain the same  
Feels like life is one big game 

Sometimes you lose. Sometimes you win 
Sometimes you don't know The beginning from the end 
  Sometimes you're cold Sometimes your Hot 
Sometimes you Push Sometimes you Pull 
Could always be worse Could always be better 
Life changes all the time, Just like the weather 
Somethings change and change a lot 
Somethings I remember, Somethings not

Sometimes  you laugh, Sometimes you Cry 
Sometimes your Low, Sometimes your high 

When it comes to Smartphones I'm really dumb
Now Video games I can play some 
ReallY, Really can't wait for Fall  
Love just Love to watch Football 
Don't like Hockey. None at all 

Don't drink any hard stuff, Beer, or Wine 
But coffee and sweet tea all the time 

Love little kittens, pups, and plants 
Can't stand mosquitoes. flies. or ants 

Some people like hunting others fishing 
Some people spend their lives just a wishing 

Some people fish with hooks or nets 
But one Thing for Sure we should Love our Vets

Some people are Gay, Bi, or straight 
Some people are poor, Not a lot of Wealth
What difference does it make 
If you're true to yourself 
If you have a job, Big or Small 
Whatever you do Give it your all 
Guess we are all different 
And a lot the same 
Just remember one thing 

                       STAY IN THE GAME
