Torn jeans
And a sleeveless tee
Working to the bone
In the daytime heat
Got nothing but a tractor
And some beam to my name
Gotta finish plowing by seven to pick up the dame

Oh
She likes the way I dress
And
She's easy to impress
Country girl
What'da want
Look at you
A tease and a taunt
To be with you
I’m quite fond
Summer breeze
Blowing through my hair
Not showing a care
To the world
It's all about us

And
You’re so easy to please
Don't make me get down
On my knees

Eggshells crack
In the mirror
While you’re searching
For yourself
The floor is paved
With gold and laved
And hot sulfur
Will you vie

Turning away
Isn’t the worst thing you could do
Growth and perseverance force you
To stay true

Are you loving life
Through the pain and strife
As your dancing with your personality
Don’t mind your shadow
Laughing
While your waltzing with
Your demons

Who said
Life was easy
They’re full of ****
But I promise you
The struggles worth it!

Burning ties
Changing tides
And nullifying
Ebb and flow
Don’t be afraid
To fight the currents
Or status quo

BE YOU!
Are you loving life
Through the pain and strife
As your dancing with your personality
Mind you not
That your shadows laughing
While you’re waltzing with
Your demons

Dirrty, Feisty, and Ready
Dirrty, Feisty, and Ready
Dirrty, Feisty, and Ready
Dirrty, Feisty, and Ready

Well
We’re young
Pretty dumb
Truly free
We have no shame
And
We’re loose
From the noose
Of expectation
Shooting pool
Skinny dipping in the pool
Smoking drinking
Living in the moment

Dirrty Feisty and Ready (x8)

We’re having fun
Don’t need no one
But us
There’s no better time
Than now
And no better place than here

We’re only human
We’re only human
We’re only human
We’re only human
So why not let let loose

Repeat chorus

Tattoos are beautiful
But temperamental
Why?


A stories worth something
But people fancy  images
Symbols stick
More than syntax
The artist knows
What  to do
but only you know what it is
You wish to say

It’s living ink
and it makes you think
Don’t blink
Or you’ll miss
The message behind
The person

Where it on skin
As a form of expression
Don’t overdue
Or you’re gonna miss the lesson
There the movies others wear
And free showing is always incentive
To admire

It’s living ink
and it makes you think
Don’t blink
Or you’ll miss
The message behind
The person

What’s your story, morning Glory?



It’s living ink
and it makes you think
Don’t blink
Or you’ll miss
The message behind
The person

Smoke.... The essence of dissolving into thin air
Something... That lived before your God was conceived
An entity
That existed before space existed
  
Something older than time
That no one can time
This time.... Time has no barrier
Expanded... But our minds are made up
Close mindedness.... A sickness older than time
John Dewberry May 2019
A hangovers
A confession
Of the night before
But I live without regret
( live without regret)

Philosophers say
We ebb and flow
According to
Certain principles
(And moral standards)

I’m young
and Intelligent
I just play the
Fallout boy
  I’m innocent
Till proven otherwise
Leave me
Alone

Go your own way
Here I’ll stay
I’m a loner
I don’t need anyone
Right or wrong
I’ll never know
Until I use
Best judgement
John Dewberry May 2019
Come into the romanticized void
Deep space
A million miles from anything
Staring at the stars and knowing that you still can't reach them

Being an astronaut realistically is boring
So in your mind you dream of floating about
On a rowboat
You underpass waterfalls of quixotic emotions
Dreaming of going home
But here you are so awry and devoid of emotion
