    I finally finished it. I've been working on these lyrics for a while, and I'm very proud of how they turned out. Please give me your opinions.


    I wake in the morning with the sun in my eye
    I wonder why the world seems so terrified
    of a stranger walking through the sand
    He just wants to walk around and see his land

    I've lost everything
    But I don't want it back
    All I want
    Is a chance to push Death back

    [Chorus]
    I know I'm not perfect,
    hell, I know I'm a lie
    Just the bottom of the bottle
    Is never enough for a guy

    I may be condemned
    but I want to try
    Just give me a minute
    for me to say goodbye
    [/Chorus]

    I ask my Priest
    Give me a confession
    But maybe I'm not worthy
    of this forgiving session

    Lord, can you tell me
    How to clean a soul ?
    Can anything be done
    Before I hear the bell toll?

    [Chorus]
    I know I'm not perfect,
    hell, I know I'm a lie
    Just the bottom of the bottle
    Is never enough for a guy

    I may be condemned
    but I want to try
    Just give me a minute
    for me to say goodbye
    [/Chorus]

    And in my final hour
    I see Death himself
    He asks for my hand
    But I say I'll keep it to myself

    I swear I'll live on
    Even if I die alone
    I'll make my judgement
    So you can make your own

    [Chorus]
    I know I'm not perfect,
    hell, I know I'm a lie
    Just the bottom of the bottle
    wasn't enough for this guy

    I may have been condemned
    but I wanted to try
    Thanks for giving me the minute
    for me to say goodbye
    [/Chorus]

    Here's one I wrote just now. I'd say this is a work in progress, but tell me how it's going so far.

    ''She's That Chip In The Pile''

    Like every man's nightmare
    she makes you take a wild risk
    And like everyone's dream
    she has tnhat angel-like bliss

    She came from a place or town that's too far away
    I'll go ahead and thank my God
    ,at least he gave me one day

    And you know I know that she's worth it...
    [Chorus]
    Because she's that chip in the pile, baby
    And she makes all the rest look so dainty
    I'll throw down my Ace on the table
    [/Chorus]

    I'll take them all out
    If I have to throw them out
    and I'll take her with me if I'm able

    Well, when she looks at me with those eyes
    Blue like the ocean and wide lik the tide
    I'll go ahead and spit on the Devil
    And I'll say to God: Thanks for being on my side

    And when she comes back here to talk to me
    She has that voice that's like sweetest wind kissing the trees

    And you know that I know she's worth it...

    [Chorus]
    Because she's that chip in the pile, baby
    And she makes all the rest look so hazy
    I'll throw my Ace down on the table

    I'll take them all out
    Even if I have to throw them out
    and I'll take her with me if I'm able
    [/Chorus]

    And we're riding off together in the sun
    I played the most dangerous game of all
    and somehow I won
    I pray that she'll stay with me forever
    Because we all know time goes slow when you're in love.

    If I had a camera, I would. Settle for the newer, instead

    ''In The Gutter''

    Simple days, for simple men
    When will the ignorance
    come to an end

    Just look around
    See the people in town
    When their luck is not found
    That's when their livelihood drowned

    [Chorus]
    We see all things happening,
    both happy and sad
    But only we can tell
    what's good or is bad

    Maybe if you lift your head
    and see hope is not dead,
    Then, maybe then we'll get out of the flutter
    of panic today
    that we call the gutter
    [/Chorus]

    You see a man say that
    he'll do what he can
    Then you will notice the gun in his hand
    Well, you cannot fight this fire with fire
    or in the end you'll see that you burned down the land

    [Chorus]
    We see all types of things happening
    Both happy and sad
    But only we can tell
    Which is good or is bad

    Maybe if you lift your head
    and see hope is not dead
    Then maybe we'll get out of that flutter
    of panic today
    that call the gutter
    [/Chorus]

    And finally we stand here, pround and tall
    If we stay like this, there's no way we'll fall
    So ready your voices and open your hearts
    And let them be heard, in places of all parts

    [Chorus]
    We see all types of things happening
    Both happy and sad
    But only we can tell
    Which is good or is bad

    Maybe if you lift your head
    and see hope is not dead
    Then maybe we'll get out of that flutter
    of panic today
    that call the gutter
    [/Chorus]
