Can't Blame Me for Being BraveA Poem by David Smothers
Don't tell me twice cuz I got it
What you were trying say Didn't see the road I was traveling Going to carve out a new way I'm seeing what transpired My broken down parts There's a lot of miles on these tires I've kept from falling apart My life's picking up Thanks for your truth that you gave The message is loud and clear Can't blame me for being brave Walked down those tracks before That long and lonely road Failed too many times to keep score I'm carrying the whole damn load You don't get this gray for nothing No you don't get this gray for nothing My life's picking up Thanks for your truth that you gave The message is loud and clear Can't blame me for being brave I'm stronger now I've learned how To stare failure in the face I've learned to keep pace Got a lot riding on this effort I'll take your advice I know I'm a working part The truth will suffice I'm stronger now I've learned how To stare failure in the face I've learned to keep pace Taken a lot of heat these days You can hear it in my voice Changing all my ways This path is my choice My life's picking up Thanks for your truth that you gave The message is loud and clear Can't blame me for being brave Have a nice day. © 2015 David Smothers |
