Strings

Strings, strings, bodda bing

you played my heart strings

with a voice clear and charming

Strings strings rusty strings

Oh you played summer heat

but not now you sound incomplete

Strings, strings political things

I will yes sir with all my heart

And won’t be in it from the start

Strings, strings, sloppy things

This old comfy shirt is tattering

Which is soul shattering

Strings, strings, my strings

Any pretty smile plays me

I’m ready to do as you please

Strings, strings, what tomorrow brings

Maybe more words on an organ

Maybe sleep in and forget again

Strings, strings bodda bing

you make my heart sing

You make my world everything

Strings, strings, endless strings

Caught in a ten minute symphony

Lost in thought what irony

Crazy Enough for You

When its 1 o’clock and I’m all spent
You’re still all smiles and won’t relent
Another round or maybe two

Because I’m crazy enough for you

Tonight this chick flick has three men in it
And I am one of them and proud of it
We’ll laugh and cry too
Because I’m crazy enough for you

You open the door and scream “Snake!”
Without thinking I go and grab the rake
Was I dumb or just a fool
At least I’m crazy enough for you

Many guys have a way of shutting up
You know me, I’ll just make the words up
Sometimes they’ll catch you too
You know, I’m crazy enough for you

Really didn't think this was going to be a song... picked up a guitar and it wrote itself.

Safe Friends

Here’s to safe friends, may you have a few

The stories shared don’t go anywhere

They pick on you when you’ve had a few

Pick you up when you’re feeling blue

They’re first to say sorry even if no harm was done

And they’ll laugh with glory when your fly is undone

So here’s to those safe friends 

……………may they be with you to the end
