The Journey

Imperfect is my way of life

So many unique experiences

Long periods of strife

Remaining to many mysterious

Living hard living free

Sometimes loving only me

Loving deep boundless caring

I hold my head high and maintain my bearing

Often hard for others to like

Too often self medicating

My life journeys been a long steady hike

Every step ive been creating

Lost opportunities wasted potential

Ive certainly had my failings

Ive had moments which were monumental

Operating my own way often outside the railings

Living hard living free

Sometimes loving only me

Loving deep boundless caring

I hold my head high and maintain my bearing

Gun play street fights ive hitchhiked across international borders

Dangerous places dangerous people

I avoided being bound to others orders

Despite all this I was often found kneeling under a church steeple

Some think im nuts or just plain crazy

While others think im unusually smart

I worked hard and been considered lazy

Most would say ive got a caring heart

Living hard living free

Sometimes loving only me

Loving deep boundless caring

I hold my head high and maintain my bearing

Ive seen about every band worth seeing live

Been to many concerts and shows

Been all over the map I like to drive

So many highs and so many lows

Im older now my time i watch  shrink

Im calm and have plenty to share

I overcame alcohol and no longer have a daily need to drink

The thing that matters most to me now is the fact that I still care

Living hard living free

Sometimes loving only me

Loving deep boundless caring

I hold my head high and maintain my bearing
