Lyrics:

I just wanted to write you, and see how things were going
things are pretty damn good over here

the misses just started a new book club last tuesday
and my oldest finally made the team this year

you remember susie? oh my how shes grown
into a fine young lady with eyes of blue

all is well over here, come by some time we'll have a beer
I hope all is well for you.

I'll leave the letter like this even tho that's not how it is
I wish I could just tell you how things are here

I lost my job at the factory all 3 kids and my wife
man, things are getting pretty severe

I don't know where I will sleep tonight
or even if I'll sleep at all

I just want to ask you for a shoulder to lean on
but my pride wouldn't let me at all

so I stand on this corner covered in dirt
feeling humble asking others for change

and I live in the filth, and stink to high heaven
feeling clean only after it rains

but it's not all so bad, I see the stars at night
and watch people pass by who see nothing at all

I never had much, but never knew what I had
until I had nothing at all

I said please brother won't you lend me a dime
or at least would you buy me a beer

never knew how much I had, but I knew it wasn't much

until I landed here

  • Your channel kind of took another direction and it's kind of sad cause you don't make serious songs like this one anymore.... or thump thump thump or any of your originals. Each one of them is a work of art and it's kind of sad that you start doing more vlogs than songs. It feels like you begin to focus more on entertainment than music. Anyway.... congrats on all your songs ... i love each and everyone of them :)...except Love song cause i hate autotune :P

  • @seriousGEO2 oh believe me I am still very passionate about my serious songs, everything ebs and flows I am in a comedy upswing right now. who knows what tomorrow brings

  • @simplyguys sry for this lame joke but you´re really a ventilatorß :D

    sry couldn´t resist^^

  • @seriousGEO2 He wrote that song I just don't care I think it is called. The one with the bad eye.

  • @realityfusion What are the chords of this song? :)

  • A really touching story man, I can relate to it with my father just getting fired and my mother on the verge of asking for a divorce. Keep fighting the good fight and please continue the good work brother

  • Fighting back the tears :'(

  • @realityfusion You should make a second channel. One for music, and one for funny stuff, vlogs, and the like :P
