Premium Member I Ain't No Good
I ain’t no good, I don’t do the things I should, My woman tells me ‘bout it all the time. What I do wrong, well the list is mighty long, But my woman seems to know it all by heart. She got her degree, in what is wrong with me, First a master’s, then a Ph.D. She lectures all around, relatin’...

What still remains— To behold the world with wide-open eyes, To truly live...
