Rethinking My Life

(Melanie Thompson)

Life is a struggle. Everyone at some time or another has met with their fair share of problems. Whether it is divorce, financial debt or just having to deal with our kids and our health, we can always count on life throwing us a curveball. These lyrics express just that through humor. Because it is my belief that humor helps us cope.

Vrs 1. My life sucks, ain't nothing getting better.
 Wife wants to leave and I'm a'gonna let her.
 Lovemaking with her is like riding a bull.
 "Get off me Clyde!"
 Nitpick. This and that.
 Everything upsets her.
 Rat-a-tat. Another spat.
 Don't want to stay together.
 Rethinking my life,
 I really should do.

Chorus. But, thinking hurts my brains.
 Memories are pains.
 So, I ride a lazy train to oblivion.
 Crying in my brew.
 Haven't got a clue.
 How to change the tide,
 swing the pendulum.

Vrs 2. My life's hard, ain't nothing in it easy.
 Son's in debt so I'm the one who feeds him.
 Setting limits with him is like skinning a mule.
 "Do the right thing boy!"
 Horse race. Racetrack.
 Always losing money.
 Mishaps. Car crash.
 He just thinks it's funny.
 Rethinking my life,
 is long overdue.

Chorus. (Repeat)

Vrs 3. My life's rough, ain't nothing in it mellow.
 Hair falling out and my teeth are turning yellow.
 Staying healthy for me is like shooting some pool.
 "Scratch!"
 Deep fried beer cakes.
 I'm a'getting fatter.
 Peach pie. Up nights
 licking cookie batter.
 Rethinking my life,
 yea, I'm gonna do.

 And I mean it this time.

 Rethinking my life,
 I'm gonna improve.

God Listens to Country

By Melanie Thompson

Most believe that God does exist. And I agree. I think he is omnipresent in humanity's daily existence. Available and active. I believe is takes pleasure in the things that make us happy. One of those things is music. These lyrics are reflections of my beliefs that I hope others share. The roots of country music stem from gospel. So, I do believe that God does listen to country music.
