*** and money are the two mistresses I sneak away with in my heart and fool around with when I'm tired.

They speak smooth words and their lips taste like honey
Whenever I can't find them I feel depressed.

The more I get the more I want
I'm never satisfied
They keep throwing dirt on me
They want me buried alive.

Come one, come all
All aboard the struggle bus!
Don't worry there's room for all of us.

Have you been abused, neglected and rejected?
Can't get it together?
Wonder if you'll ever be better?

You're the perfect person on the struggle bus
Down be ashamed you're one of us.
Doors open so the choice is yours

No need to shy cause there'll be plenty more.

I've got the matches and gasoline
Tired of staring at this old house
It's just not what it used to be.
The floor creaks, windows busted
I used to love to be here but now I'm disgusted.

Strike the match and watch it burn
Let it be ashes and embers
Let this house be something I never remember

Another tear burns my eyes and rolls down my cheek like water on a leaf.
I've cried so many tears I don't know how much more I can weep.
You said weeping would only last for the night but you never told me that the night would be a slow burn like cigarette.

Thank you Jesus for my eyes that see the sunrise on that beautiful morning

Thank you Jesus for my family and friends because you know when will see each other again.

Thank you Jesus for the clean clothes that cover my body and keep cool and warm.

Thank you Jesus for my wife and daughter.  

Lord thank you for the gift of life! I'm blessed that you have allowed me to see thirty years!

Thank you Jesus for price you paid
Thank you Jesus for the foundation you laid.
May all that I am praise the Lord

Wonder what people will say when I'm six feet under?
Will they say he was a good husband, father and brother?
What legacy will I leave behind?
Will it be earthly trophies that'll rust and be forgotten or did I store my treasurers in heaven.

My next breathe might be last so I better spend it wisely because soon it will pass.

Oh my heart why must you knock on the devil's door?
Why must you be the promiscuous one, lingering in places you know you shouldn't go
Staying longer than you should
Go back home and lock the door

If they knock again just tell them I said "they're not welcomed any more"
