Dragons For Sale

*continues singing*

"...Son graduatin' college, that was mama's dream,
But I was on my way to anywhere else when I turned 18,
Cuz when you gotta fast car, you think you've got everything.
I learned quick those GTO's don't run on faith,
I ended up broken down in some town north of L.A.
Working maximum hours, for minimum wage,
Well, I fell in love, next thing I know,
The babies came, the car got sold,
I sure do miss that old hot rod,
But you sure save gas in them foreign jobs,
Dad, I wonder if I ever let you down,
If you're ashamed how I turned out,
Well, he lowered his voice, then he raised his brow,
Said, lemme tell ya right now..."

*continues singing*

"...That's something to be proud of,
That's a life you can hang your hat on,
You don't need to make a million,
Just be thankful to be workin',
If you're doing what you're able,
And putting food there on the table,
And providing for the family that you love,
That's something to be proud of..."

*continues singing*

"..And if all you ever really do is the best you can,
Well, you did it man.

That's something to be proud of,
That's a life you can hang your hat on,
That's a chin held high, as the tears fall down,
A gut sucked in, a chest stuck out,
Like a small town flag a-flyin',
Or a newborn baby cryin',
In the arms of the woman that you love,
That's something to be proud of,
That's something to be proud of,
Yeah, that's something to be proud of,
That's something to be proud of,
Now that's something to be proud of."

That's a sweet one.

Well, bump.

Let's do another song...oh man this one really gets you thinkin'...gives you the serious feels too...here goes....


"I turned on the evening news,
Saw a old man being interviewed,
Turning a hundred and two today.
Asked him what's the secret to life?
He looked up from his old pipe,
Laughed and said "All I can say is...."

*continues singing*

"...Don't blink,
Just like that you're six years old and you take a nap and you,
Wake up and you're twenty-five and your high school sweetheart becomes your wife.
Don't blink,
You just might miss your babies growing like mine did,
Turning into moms and dads next thing you know your better half,
Of fifty years is there in bed,
And you're praying God takes you instead.
Trust me friend a hundred years goes faster than you think,
So don't blink..."

*continues singing*

"...I was glued to my TV, and it looked like he looked at me and said,
"Best start putting first things first."
Cause when your hourglass runs out of sand,
You can't flip over and start again,
Take every breathe God gives you for what it's worth..."


Okay, that's the last bump for the night. We'll continue tomorrow I guess, assuming I don't get a customer...

Okay....no customers....I guess I'll just keep typing this song:


"...Don't blink,
Just like that you're six years old and you take a nap and you,
Wake up and you're twenty-five and your high school sweetheart becomes your wife.
Don't blink,
You just might miss your babies growing like mine did,
Turning into moms and dads next thing you know your better half,
Of fifty years is there in bed,
And you're praying God takes you instead.
Trust me friend a hundred years goes faster than you think,
So don't blink..."

"So I've been trying to slow it down
I've been trying to take it in
In this 'here today, gone tomorrow' world we're living in

...Don't blink,
Just like that you're six years old and you take a nap and you,
Wake up and you're twenty-five and your high school sweetheart becomes your wife.
Don't blink,
You just might miss your babies growing like mine did,
Turning into moms and dads next thing you know your better half,
Of fifty years is there in bed,
And you're praying God takes you instead.
Trust me friend a hundred years goes faster than you think,
So don't blink...

No, don't blink
Don't blink
Life goes faster than you think
So don't blink
Life goes faster than you think
Don't blink
Don't blink
Life goes faster than you think"

And that's the end of that song.

Hmmm, should I do another song?....Idk, I guess bump.
