Don Johnson Poet Ballad

Yesterday

yesterday i was young,
seawater tried to drown me lung,
i was dog paddlin alone,
in the sea, a rip was going,
taking me far from home,
i tried to swim against the tide,
didn't work, no panic side,
i headed up the coast to be,
coming out of the bloody sea,
till the current was denied,
and i reached the shore applied,
determination me....
