True but still funny. A typical cops night.


Dumb Love/Drunk Love

Today I tried to call you
You didn't pick up the phone
I drove bye and saw his car
And knew you weren't alone

I tried to call you one more time
While I stood outside your door
You pretended not to hear my call
And ignored me even more

I decided I would go out back
Throw stones and sing a song
Serenade you with my words
And prove my love once more

You opened up your window
Screamed, please leave me alone
But I know what you wanted
Was for me to keep on going

That guy inside I didnt know
Came out and said to leave
He had something in his hands
What it was, I could not see

I heard you scream into the night
Leave now or you will die
Thats when I saw he had a gun
And the fire in his eyes

I saw a flash and heard a bang
Then I decided I should run
Thats when I knew my love for you
Was over and now done

I saw the lights as the cop's arrived
And watched them search for me
Then I realized that where you lived
Was over one more street

Given Have A Chance

I know that I will love once more
And set my sorrow free
Move forward and begin a life
Without you next to me

I will feel a warmth within my heart
And give my love again
Heal my soul, begin to live
And find a new best friend

I wont wait for love to find me
I'll reach out and find new love
Give my heart to someone new
Who refuses to give up
  
I will see a smile and know right then
That we were meant to be
Realize it's a second chance
That God is giving me

I'll let go of hurt and anger
Feel calming peace within
For the heart will heal and repair itself
If it's given half a chance

His Voice or Mine

With his kiss upon your lips
As you  close your eyes
Do you think about the life we had
Or the new life he provides

Can his hands carress your body
The ways that mine once did
Will his touch give you pleasure
Like only I could give

Can you see true love in his eye's
Like the love I had for you
Will your heart beat just as fast
As when I walked in the room

Does the memory of him fill your day
Is our memory lost in time
As you sleep within your dreams
Do you hear his voice or mine

Differnt Taste, Different View

Each person has a different taste
In each thing they see or do
A different taste in all of life
And different points of view

It amazes me they like one thing
That I thought just wasn't good
Or they hate the thing that touched me
The one I understood

There may be many different paths
That each of us will make
The experience of each life lived
Decides which path we'll take

So when that perfect thing is found
Know It could be just for you
For others may not have your taste
They have a different point of view

I Saw Perfect

Today I looked in
And I saw a perfect face
A smile that lit up the room
When others looked your way

There was this calm about you
As you looked around the room
Knowing just what you want
And who is right for you

You looked my way and smiled
And I wondered who you saw
Not realizing it was me
That you searched for all along

I felt this calming peace within
As your eyes peirced my soul
I saw the inner beauty
That I knew was there to hold

That perfect person in the room
Was there for all to see
For that perfect face that I saw
Was in a mirror in front of me

Wasted Time

I know it's just wasted time
As I sit and think of you
I'm holding on to a past
That I know was never true

I know I need to just let go
Of the dream that we once shared
Its a waste of time to feel this way
When I know you never cared

I wonder if you loved me
Like I remember in my heart
It was a waste of time believing
That we would never be apart

I know I must forget your touch
And that promise we would be
For those years we spent together
Are now just wasted time to me

I call him son

I think about him every day
His blond hair and green eyes
The way he walks into a room
And brightens up my life

He understands my feelings
Like no one else has done
In all the years I've know him
I've always called him son

He has this way about him
That makes me want to laugh
When we spend time together
It goes bye way to fast

I remember as a child
How much he needed me
Now he's grown into a man
And is needing to fly free

I am so very proud of him
And In all the things he's done
But the thing that im most proud of
Is that I can call him son


Carl J. Roberts
For my son Kylor
I love you son

Greatest Cop In Town (LOL)

Well crap, he outran me
But, I wear thirty extra pounds
I  think I'll just say that
Because Im supposed to run him down

I yelled one time for him to stop
But, he ran like a gazelle
He jumped a fence with no hands
My gun belt slowed me down

I wear boots not made for running
He had Jordan sneakers on
He must not of heard my orders
I think my siren drowned the sound

He sized me up so quickly
I could see it in his eyes
I think he saw my anger
Or, the ******* at my side

I may have heard him laughing
But not once did he look back
He thought that he would get away
Because he ran so very fast

Now I know that I will find him
And he'll be easy to be found
I'll place his name on my business cards
And leave them all around

I'll write a dollar number very high
Note that he was a great help
His friends will be so happy
Or they will beat him straight to hell

He'll tell them that he did not talk
Say he ran like a gazelle
But no one will believe him
Because I'm the greatest cop in this town

Lost Memory

Today I lost a memory
And that memory was of you
I will no longer search my soul
For that memory once so true

Your memory no longer takes my days
Nor fills my dreams each night
For those memories have been washed away
With this start of my new life

I no longer feel the hurt
My once troubled heart is calm
For all the pain that I once felt
Has been washed away with time

I know now memories can be lost
And replaced with something new
For today I lost a memory
And that memory was of you

Spin The Bottle

That bottle spins in a game of chance
Who you'll kiss depends where it lands
It lands on me and we begin our life
Then a ring is given you become my wife

A child is born to change my view
I'm now responsible for someone new
Then one day you come to me
You tell me soon there will be three

So we buy a house where we can grow
We fix it up and call it home
It's not big enough for our family now
So we sell that home and look around

We find a home in a different town
To raise our kids until there grown
The days are spent in each others arms
Still holding hands, two melded hearts

That bottle knew just where to land
For it stopped on me and our life began
Spin the bottle's not a game a chance
Its a gift from God and it's heaven sent

The Dotted Line

I thought the pain was over
Time has made our love so cold
But now the house where we once lived
Is in contract to be sold

Its been two years since I saw you
And no longer are you mine
But they say we both must be there now
To sign the dotted line

I couldn't help but feel the pain
As you walked into the room
The silence was so very loud
As I stopped and looked at you

They put the forms in front of us
And pointed where to sign
To the left I signed my name in bold
Just below the dotted line

To the right I saw a new name
One I didnt recognize
For you took his name a year ago
And left my name behind

That house where we once planned our life
Has now been sold to someone new
I watched as they received the keys
And hid my sadness from your view

This is the last I'll see you
The final ending of our time
For today we signed two different names
Just above the dotted line

You Do This

What do you do when it's not there
And its no where to be found
What do you do when no one cares
And there are no friends around
What do you do when life gets tough
And you think you've had enough
What do you do when love is gone
And you know it wont come back

You find whats there and make it work
For you know it was never lost
You care for them in a time of need
And never worry about the cost
You show them that, you've been there too
And that you know how hard it is
Then go out, find someone new
And fill your heart with bliss

Casino Love

Friends tell you you're not ready
Dont jump in with both feet
They dont know really how you feel
Or what you truly need

They think they have the answers
They try to give advice
Say one day you'll love again
But just give it some time

You listen to their every word
And you know there being nice
You think you know what's truly best
So you decide to roll the dice

The first time that you start to play
You feel a love that grows within
A remembered joy of something new
That you think will never end

You want the love that you feel
To not come crashing down
You'll give all you have to play the game
So true love can be found

Then you realize they were somehow right
And that they knew just what to say
They had seen the future in the cards
But still you're glad you played

So now you go to just have fun
And Play the hand that you're delt
No worry for if you may lose
For true love will win out
