"(Don’t You Know Me) Better?"
Raisin’ my hand in the sand
Was the plan ‘fore I ran
So slightly to the left
Where I met up with death
I said, "Hey man, what are ya lookin’ for?"
That’s when he replied and he denied
And asked me a question
Written in a letter
Don’t you know me better?
Walkin’ in the sunlight
I see the shining bright ahead
So I turned my head and said
One day I’m surely gon’ be dead
Not enough time, the dog needs to be fed
Soon I gotta wed my wife to be
Thinkin’ of it makes me giddy
And happy like I should be
So smack me if I’ve said too much
Lemme know when you’ve had enough of me
Was it my time to go? Is there nothing you need to know
Or hear or was it a mere figment time spent
Image in the back of my headin’ down the sidewalk
While I kept my train of thought on the way I
Was taught in account may account
For something in my future and I ain’t gonna thank ya
Because you left me in the dead zone all alone
And I called D up on the phone and asked him
Of then when I was...
Shoes get dirty, look so purdy, fly as they come
The day when I’m done with life and times
Of the world and news of the girl how
She floats without a boat in the ocean and
I make a motion to her and she comes
What fun the conversation had no hatin’
Just real talkin’ and walkin’ and stoppin’
On the way lookin’ down where we lay in the
Grave, just repaved and I read the headstone
"Here lived a man all alone" and my only memory of life
Was a time when I was...
This could have been great
Could have been fine
If I didn’t take
Advantage of my life
