Pressures of Life By Larry Rawlins In my teen years, the excitement of weekend nights The thrill of hearing my car racing tight The excitement of finding the girl who was right The thankfulness of being Mr. Cool and winning the fight But Oh, the weight of the pressure of life In middle years, gratitude of well-paying job, hoping to live a comfortable...
