"Looking back at 4/18/2004"

I have no fixed address I am in Lafayette, Indiana.  I am attending my second or third songwriting class (they are free)

Here are the lyrics from my unfinished song.  I suspect you'll enjoy this even though I never did complete the song.

4/18/2004

The song is called:

TOO COLD TO SLEEP LAST N IGHT (completely non fiction account of my life)

Intro

 It was too cold to sleep last night

well that ain't nothin' new

the days I wake up rested, those are far too few

vs. 1

I don't know how much longer I can go on livin' this way

It's been 10 hears and it just ain't goin' away

between a rock and a hard place

they keep reminding me

the daily decisions of a girl in poverty

chorus:

IT'S A FULL TIME JOB I'M WORKIN' ROUND THE CLOCK

NO MATTER WHAT I DO YES I'M JUST REALLY STUCK

SHOULD I BUY SOME FOOD OR SHOULD I PAY SOME RENT

IMPOSSIBLE DECISIONS ARE ALL THAT I'VE BEEN SENT

verse 2

I'm under the gun

the sheriff's at my place

he's got an eviction notice

I can see it in his face

So now where will I go?

My friends don't seem to know

They just can't imagine

cuz they've got loot for show

chorus

IT'S A FULL TIME JOB

I'M WORKIN' ROUND THE CLOCK

NO MATTER WHAT I DO, SEEMS LIKE I'M JUST REALLY STUCK

SHOULD I BUY SOME FOOD

OR SHOULD I PAY SOME RENT?

IMPOSSIBLE DECISIONS ARE ALL THAT I'VE BEEN SENT
