Keeping me from the places that are dark and cold
Digging me out of hole after hole
Trying to keep me in control
My Soul
Taps me on the right
Taps me on the left
Stopping the thoughts of theft
Telling me to pick my fights
Keeping me brave, pushing away all the fright
Keeping me strong
Not leaving me for long
My Soul
Whispers in my ear
She is right
He is wrong
Singing it's song
Leading me away from what is wrong
My Soul
Keeping me from the in evitable
Pretty awesome and incredible
It keeps my life credible
My Soul
Keeping me on the right path
Keeping me from God's wrath
I hope it does not fail
I guess time will tell
If it does
And I go to hell
I hope it can pay my bail
As I wait to exhale
My Soul

Pack your bags
Take all your **** rags
Stay and watch the ******* things burn
Of course you would not turn
I told you to leave and not come inside
But no
you had to stay and watch me try
to commit suicide
You never let anything slide
All the nagging
and always bragging
Us always playing a game of tag
Making my life a drag
You always seemed to be on the rag
Always running the streets to find someone to ****
You always took the chance to go out stag
Get the **** out
Just leave!!
Don't worry about me
I will find someone that loves me for me
I don't give a **** if they are a little insane
We will pop a bottle of champagne
There will not be anymore chains
Won't lay blame
With no games
Nothing to explain
Finally someone with a brain
Get the **** out
Just leave !!
Nothing more to disbelieve
No more being afraid you will conceive
Nothing more to grieve
All the later **** just makes me want to heave
Nothing more to share between
I have cut all of our strings
So get the **** out
And just
Leave
Please
   !!

If I lost everything
Would you stay the same
Or would you count your blessings
Just because I was honest and started confessing
Would there be anymore caressing
If not and you should stop how depressing

IF I

If I should loose my eyesight
and could not see
Would you leave me
Or would you stay
And see for me, lead me
Would you squawk at
the people that would stand around and gawk

IF I

If I for some reason  could not walk
Would you stay and help walk
Keep having our long night talks
Not set around a bock
And watch the clock
Instead, would you make sure I made it to see the Doc.

IF I

If I stopped loving you
Would you set around and do nothing
and let things brew
Get blue
Would you keep loving me and
try to make everything new
or would you give up and we both loose
Would you put up a fight for what you knew

IF I

If I could not make love to you
Would you find other ways
Without any delays
I hope you would not find anyone else
and stray and runaway
I would hope you would be brave and
stay

IF I

If I could not live
and had to die
Would you stay through thick and thin
Would you be my nurse
Up to the time for the hearse
Or would you just turn off the life support
and abort

IF I

If I could not be
What you wanted me to be
or what you saw in me
All this really happened to me
Would you remember
The vow
That was
and is  

For the better and for the worst
Until death do us part

I am who I am
Sure I play
Love a good roll in the hay
Shame it's not everyday
It's got to be my way
Yep, you need to be brave
Once we engage
O.k., call it misbehave
Afterwards !!
I will be what you crave
I am who I am
I will always speak my mind
Pull back and I try to be kind
I am not a person that is refined
What the hell
"Touching glasses with my cocktail"
" Do tell "
But into the detail
I am who I am
Sticks and stones may break my bones
But words will never hurt me
Get my drift
Make it swift
Don't listen to senseless ****
I am who I am
My friends I would never betray
Just loyal in that way
Count on me everyday
I am who I am
Tough, rough and a little gruff
So they say
I am that way
What do they want a powder puff
I am who I am
I will stand up for what I believe
I will more then likely never reprieve
I guess hard headed and set in my ways
"Hey" I can blame that on my age
I am who I am
I want apologize
For who
Or what I am

" I am who I am"

Is there a chance I could fit into your life
If not
Stab me with a knife
No reason to talk about it
Walk around it
Or think about it
Is there a chance
You see what I see
Feel what I feel
This is not lets make a deal
Ask
We could talk over a meal
Sounds Ideal
No baggage here
Nothing that needs to heal
If there is a chance
Don't be shy
Take a chance on me
Be all we can be
What would it take for you to agree
To take a chance on me
I can guarantee
There would be great *** with me
Kick the others to the curb
While using an action verb
I promise I want think your disturbed
Then you will see more then just a blur
When you take a chance on me
Your mind then will be clear
Then no reason to call anyone else dear
I will be the one that will  always appear
When you take a chance on me
I will be quick to fall to my knees
There will be more then wine and cheese
I know for a fact you will feel the breeze
and you will be appeased
with no disagrees
By taking a chance on me
After this do you agree
To take a chance on me
Yep, Your right, if you think this is about you and me
It is what it seems
An invitation to be with me
                !

Why do you give a ****?
If I sleep with a woman
or
If I sleep with a man
**** !!
It's my choice if I want to explore
At least you can't accuse me of being a bore
Why would you give a ****
If I drink to much, pass out and hit the floor
And if I stagger into the door
It sure did not bother you before
It's my business if I do it anymore
Maybe I am not the way I was before
My life is sure not going to be a chore
I will pull up my drawers
Stand up on all fours
Why do you give a **** ?
If I decide to smoke some ****
You are not the one that planted me
when I was just a seed
So with that, have we agreed??
" Concede"
****, why do you give a **** ?
My life is not about greed
I am freed
Guaranteed!!
NO my head does not need an exam
I will never be as passive as a little lamb
More like a Ram
What is a gram??
****!!
Why would you care
If I get into a jam
And sometimes act like a big ham
****!!
Why do you give a ****?
If I land face down in the dirt
or if I hurt
or if I am a big flirt
Not in my genes to be an invert
I will never turn my back on life to divert
Why would you give a ****?
I will tell you this I don't run any kind of scam
I am who I am
And
Frankly
I Don't give a ****
!!

I am thinking of the memories over and over
The highway that lead me to no shame
How it's never changed
It has stayed the same
Lead me to love and never no pain
Showed how much I had to gain
As it was leading me away
It was begging me to stay
What would have happened
If I had never traveled and I had never seen
And I always had to wonder "where"
And I had never been there
Never left me in the dark
Could always count on it getting me home
Never left me alone
Taking me to my favorite fishing hole
"Charlie's Hole"
Where I was always stumping my toes
Where it snowed
But never stopped me from being on the go
Took me to Grandma's for homemade white cake
But it was not mine to take
It allowed me to walk
And me and it had some very long talks
Lead me to the back woods
Lead me to Indian Cliffs
Where that Indian Chief
Was carved into that rock and but still kind of stiff
Where I road in the back of my Grandpa's truck
Always keeping my head tucked
Lead me to my friends
Where there has never been any ends
Where still to this day it leads me home
Where I never feel alone
And
Someday it will lead to where I will have my finale rest
And
One last time it will lead me home
