Twist and Turns

Twists And Turns Sometimes we Get let down With all the twist And turns in life To keep your head Above water You are ready and Determine to fight You find the cost To feed your family Is more than you can bear And the worries shows on Top of your head With black and grey hair You try to keep up with The browns afraid of Being left behind You can’t afford that Big white house You don’t even Have a dime Your wife is on Your back and Your baby needs A pair of shoes You find yourself in So much trouble and Now you got the blues Your job doesn't Pay enough money So now you are talking About leaving When you think you Got it under control This week you Didn't break even Now your kids are sick From playing out in the cold Little Johnny has a fever With a red and runny nose You feel bad inside because Others have money to burn Hospital garnish your check Because you had no insurance You bow your head With a honest heart Fighting tears as you pray Sleepless nights, teary eyes Believing there must be a way Because life takes away Whatever you earn With all its twist and turns Now you wonder How some can make it And other can hardly stand Half supporting your family Makes you feel less of a man You can’t stand the pressure So you want to go back home There are times in the day when You prefer to be left alone So you figured out that life Waits patiently for no one A lesson that is well learned And life doesn't play fair With all its twists and turns
