I've been wandering this desert
Haven’t seen a single tree
Why’d I leave the gorgeous mountains
That was mighty dumb of me
Oh, and now I’m paying…
Sure hope this misery doesn't last,
That I get out of this desert…
Before this desert kicks my a--
Oh man, I know it can…..
Been floating down this river
Have your heartless self to thank
Shoved me off without the paddles
Stood there laughing on the bank
Oh, and now I’m praying…
Sure hope this current’s not too fast
That it doesn't flip me over
Cause I can’t swim, I never have
Oh man, I need a plan…
~~~* Chorus*~~~
The rain is a falling, as far as I can see
Why is there always a black cloud over me
I become aware
I’m feeling sorry for myself
When there are people out there
Living through an actual Hell
So far I've survived, sometimes have a decent life
And I’m learning how to go with the flow…
When I think I’m screwed
I just read the book of Job
~~*~~
Some guy smashed into my pickup
And it’s not paid for yet
Told the cop he didn't see me
When it’s fire engine red
Oh, and now I’m walking
Sure hope my agent helps me soon
The guy didn't have insurance
And it’s looking like I’m doomed
Oh man, I’m really screwed
I don’t walk around with blinders
Need to see what’s coming next
Took a class on meditation
Helps me when I’m feeling vexed
Oh, and now I’m thinking
This could be some kind of test
That I've passed with flying colors
When I haven’t quit him yet
Oh man, I must be blessed
~~~*Lyrical Bridge*~~~
Yeah…Me~ N ~ Job are Brothers, but I hope I never see
The torment that afflicted him…my life is pretty sweet
I can make it through these obstacles, consider them a test
Set my mind to overcome... all the chaos and the stress
We may laugh about our scars, you never know…
If you think you've got problems
You just read the book of Job
