I Am Not Living Like That!


Music was rockin', deep dreams my mind was bakin'
She was callin', her leaving words had me shakin'
She was gone like the clouds when I woke myself up
I felt life fallin' into a bottomless cup!

Front door open, dog resting on the new table
I was crawlin', and so damn proud to be able
Something she said, before hitting me with that bat
To hell with you, I am not living like that!

Music was rockin', deep dreams my mind was bakin'
She was callin', her leaving words had me shakin'

Music had stopped playin', did I ever truly care
Gone was great cooking and that beautiful blonde hair
Now I missed times, when she softly touched me like that
Until bloody head reminded me of that bat!

Something she said, before hitting me with that bat
To hell with you, I am not living like that!

Something she said, before hitting me with that bat
To hell with you, I am not living like that!

WHISKEY BOTTLE WAS USED, NOT A BAT...I have the scar to prove it..
