Valentine’s Day Massacre of My Broken Back
I can’t believe its already been 11 years Since I woke up from lower back surgery in agony and tears See they put me to sleep and under the surgeon’s knife Not knowing it would drastically change the next eight years of my life I woke up with screws, cages, rods, staples and all kinds of permanent hardware And for the next few months of my life, learning to walk again and using a wheelchair Then getting hooked on Methadone, Xanax, Oxycontin, Soma, Fentanyl, Demerol and Morphine Its a miracle I can walk again, be a roughneck and be almost a year sober and clean

Searching
Don’t lose yourself searching for reasons why In due time you’ll understand from the man in the sky See God knows when we’re ready and how much we can take He may not reveal now, ’cause he knows that you would break So just trust His guidance ’cause its only for your sake And when you do this, then better choices you will make

Angel of Death
I’ve been visited so many times by the Angel of Death I know him so well, I tried uttering his name with my last breath But the Lord showed me mercy and saved me through grace And he did it out of love and was crucified in my place See God is no respecter of persons and for you, He’ll do the same Simply offer him your heart and call out His name

Drugs
I was dedicated to you, I gave you all that I had But the way you did me is ruthless and sad To have you, I’d do anything and go through any course And all you did was sucked the life from me with no remorse I’ve fought for you, stole for you, almost died for you And when I couldn’t find you I was sick, sad and blue But now I’m done with you, you no longer have that power over me ‘Cause I’ve changed my thinkin’ and the way it used to be Now when you come to tempt me, I just take a knee And thank God…

Lessons
Climbing to the top of the mountain called Recovery I reach out my hand to show others my discovery Life had become pretty bitter but now its become pretty sweet Even after all those hard lessons and a pretty long rap sheet All my mistakes in life I don’t completely regret ‘Cause they taught me some life lessons that I will never forget An empty stomach and sleeping in the cold Will make you value simple things, not just money and gold

Letter To My Love
The things others took for granted I cherish and love It’s something I hold dear and will not let go of It’s what I see in your eyes when you’re looking at me I can not explain it but it’s a beautiful sight to see I ain’t going to lie and say I don’t love your thick fine booty But that’s the tiniest factor that accents your Beauty It’s that bright cheesy smile that lights a fire in my heart And it’s that miss you lonesome feeling I get when we’re apart It’s the way you present yourself through life and all its storms Right now we might be far…

Life After Death
You’re sitting there wondering where do I begin Just take it one choice at a time and turn away from Sin You’ll never be perfect so don’t even try Be kind to everybody and “live” life before you die Be grateful for all your blessings ’cause they’re everywhere you look Get to know the man upstairs and look into his Book Always treat others as you want them to treat you Even when you know that’s not what they are going to do Never tell a lie ’cause its more costly than just your breath And do right by God ’cause there is life after death

Always Forgive
They say never get burned by the same flame twice ‘Cause in the end you’ll end up paying a very heavy price Why does our heart force us to reach back out our hand And try to establish something on already sinking sand They say never hold a grudge and always forgive But that doesn’t mean you have to accept and agree with the way that others live There’s a reason the Bible says, “Above all else, guard your heart” Because it thinks with emotions which isn’t very smart So a little friendly advice for me and also you Is talk to God before you open the door and…
