Sitting on a rock, wasting time
I have walked all the
railroad tracks between here and yesteryear while looking for tomorrow
I have felt the vibrations of
the train as it passes by taking my breath away
I can feel the breeze and see
the trees swaying with the coming storm and darkened clouds
I hate the life I am living,
just walking along, headed for nowhere
And listening to nature’s
sounds, it all comes together as life goes by
Just so the world know who I am
and where I’ve been in my time
I have traveled the oceans,
climbed some mountains and sowed some wild oats and seeds
A bit of love was all I ever
needed, a little inspiration brought me to my knees
But no matter how deep the
pain or broken spirited I might have felt
I never cared for the inspiration
of weed or the needle in my vein as the devil never dwelt
Inside my soul where I would
sell it to the lowest bidder, for even those evils couldn’t get rid
Of the hurt and pain in life
that I most distained
But through it all, I took
the fall, and got back up, with pain and despair following close behind me,
I closed my eyes and kept on
walking, until the sun went down and shadows no longer followed me
I can hear the owls in the
woods shrieking their calls, the moon is rising, the cold air falls
As the lonely country road
came to an end and the dirt road get nearer
I looked for a spot with a
rock, so I could clear my mind ever clearer
Resting my weary bones, just
sitting here wasting my time
Listening to a song in my head
with words that always rhymes
A little bit of love was all I
ever needed, but it seemed to escape me well
And on the misery of love, my
broken heart continues to swell
I know why my girl left me, I
know it too well
It was because I couldn’t
give up my passion from hell so here I dwell
I was selfish, materialistic
and difficult to please in my persistent mind
It seemed so simple but my
girl left me, saying I was not what she needs
So I am sitting here thinking
on a rock, wasting time
In my pocket you will be
lucky to find a dollar or even a dime
But just sitting here
thinking, wasting time
I can free up my soul, my
heart and free my mind
Never a tough guy, never a
fighter or a warrior for duty and country never came
I am free to do what I want
and sitting on this rock is making me insane
A pawn I life, I don’t guess I
have much more left to do
As I tie my laces on my well
traveled shoes
So I didn’t think too much
about the pain I brought to others
And last night, when the
stars were bright, I even had a pleasant thought
I don’t have much to say
anymore, I kind of like it that way
But when I sit here wasting
my time on this rock,
My life seems worth
something, just sitting here wasting time
The moon is full, the meteors
are falling to earth
As I sit here meditating , and
woke up to beat the clock
Perhaps after tomorrow’s
sunrise, it is time for me to rise and yawn
And find another road,
another rock and stop wasting my time
And put some money in my
pocket so I can ease my mind
I think I can make it better,
for all I really needed was some free time
To make my heart well again,
mend it solid and make it whole
For my spirit and inspiration
has recaptured my soul
